does anyone know the best code for "non-automatic" popup windows?
i've done it a few way's, but none seem that great, and the dimensions seem to change depending on what computer/browser i'm on.
it would be great if the pop-window can automatically be centered in the screen too.
thanks!

You should be able to precalculate the dimensions needed based on screen width and viewport width comparisons.. as for centering, there's a
few techniques.

This is a script that centers the popup, sized as called, 170px down from the top of the screen.
Code: Select all
function firstWindow(report,winht,winwth)
{
var windowX = (screen.width/2)-(winwth/2);
s = "top=170,left="+windowX+",width="+winwth+",height="+winht;
reportWindow = window.open(report, 'reportWin',s)
reportWindow.focus()
}
thanks
