This is probably a really simple question to you techie web types but I can't seem to work out how to make a window pop-up in the centre of the screen. I can set the top=x, left=x values to get the window to open in the centre of a 1024x768 screen but obviously the settings are incorrect for other resolution displays.

Is there a command or javascript to get the window to pop-up in the centre of the screen?

Cheers,

use javascript mate

<script language="JavaScript">
{alert('What you want to say');}
</script>

ok mate, this will always be centre. Might want to set a function before it though.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var win;

function popup(url, winw, winh, resize) {
var width = winw;
var height = winh;
var left = (screen.availWidth - width) / 2;
var top = (screen.availHeight - height) / 2;
win = window.open(url,"popWin","toolbar=0,location=0,dir ectories=0,menuBar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable="+resi ze+",top="+top+",left="+left+",width="+width+",hei ght="+height);
win.focus();
win = null;
}
//-->
</script>

e.g. to call the script:

<a href="javascriptopup('apage.htm', 500, 350, 1)">open</a>

Will open apage.htm in a 500px x 350px window with scroll bars enabled

Edit: stupid bloody bbs code!
