Javascript - Pop-up window behavior question

Expert: Danny Goodisman - 9/2/2003

Question
Is it possible to make a pop-up window expand to a full daughter window (i.e. "maximize") if a user clicks a link in the pop-up?

if so, what's the code? i'm looking for something sturdy.

thanks!

Answer
The popup window should contain HTML such as this:

<input type="button" onclick="window.width = screen.availWidth + 8; window.height= screen.availHeight +8">

The +8 is necessary because the width and height of the window counts the thickness of the window border.

Good luck.
