From: Gloucestershire, home of the lawnmower.

Hi All,

Struggling with this one.

I need to provide a link to a webpage. I want this webpage to automatically open a small popup with just the title bar and for this popup to load a HTML page.

Now the tough bit. As soon as the popup appears, I want the original page to disappear/close.

I'm trying to allow a small popup to appear on screen that will show an image (some server stats) but will not take up all the desktop.

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers

Ian

Can be done, but do you want to?

If you close a browser window created by the user, it will prompt the user via a dialog box asking if they want to close it.

Why not just resize the window when the new page loads?

Using code like this:

<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<title>Resize Window Thingy</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
This should be 500 x 500
</body>
</html>
