I have a requirement to force the initial window size for webhelp content to 580x700. How can I set this initial window size? I've tried setting:

Code: Select all


<script Language="JavaScript">

          var width=580;

          var height=700;

          self.moveTo((screen.availwidth-width)/2,(screen.availheight-height)/2);

          self.resizeTo(width,height);

</script>

in wt_index.html, wt_search.html, wt_terms.html and wt_topic.html, but it does not appear to change the default window size.

Hello,

You cannot resize or set the position of a browser window on the page load.
You can change only the properties of a new window opened by your script. This means that you should open a new window and set the properties you want: width, height, offset top and offset left.
Here is the script that will do this:

Code: Select all


<script>

        var myWindow;



        var width=580;

        var height=700;

        var availHeight = screen.availHeight;

        var availWidth = screen.availWidth;

        var positionX = (availWidth-width)/2;

        var positionY = (availHeight-height)/2;

        var requestedURL = window.location;



        if (window.name!=="myWindow") {

            window.document.write("<p>This page open a new WebHelp window!</p>");

            myWindow = window.open(requestedURL, "myWindow", "width=" + width + ", height=" + height + ", left=" + positionX + ", top=" + positionY);

            myWindow.focus();

            window.stop();

        }

</script>

You have to include it in the wt_index.html, wt_search.html, wt_terms.html and wt_topic.html files.
