	Center/change Current Window Jul 27, 2002, 13:32	1
	I've found a bunch of stuff online about opening a new window that is centered... but I want to center a current window (that is a popup, but I want to center it from within the page). I know how to resize from within the page. How do I center it? Oh, and I'd also like to know how to take away the scrollbars, toolbars, statusbar, etc of the current window. BTW, this is the code I use (and it works) to resize the window. I want to add on to it to do the other stuff as well: Code: <script language="JavaScript">window.resizeTo(500,100)</script>

	Okay, I decided on how I want to do it (I think)... but I get a problem now: Here's my page: http://www.ax2.org/phil/popup.asp There must be something wrong with the code, but I don't know what. When you click the link it opens the window, but the main window says "[object]" Here's the link code... Code: <a href="javascript:window.open('/shared/popup/extremeexcursion.asp', 'ax2popup', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=150,left = 262,top = 284')">Extreme Excursion Info</a>

It works... I did this:

Code:

<a href="/shared/popup/extremeexcursion.asp" onclick="window.open('/shared/popup/extremeexcursion.asp', 'ax2popup', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=150,left = 262,top = 284'); return false;">Extreme Excursion Info</a>

That's great! Sometimes the href="javsacript:function()" is less than reliable. But remember, setting a feature equal to 0 is the same as not including it at all! So your lines could be much shorter!

Code:

window.open('/shared/popup/extremeexcursion.asp', 'ax2popup', 'width=500,height=150,left = 262,top = 284');

-- instead of --

Code:

window.open('/shared/popup/extremeexcursion.asp', 'ax2popup', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=150,left = 262,top = 284');

	Oh really? Sweet... thanks!

thats only really with older browsers, but i would have thought that a popup in this context would be just fine as it is.

	Okay, I played around and I got this: Code: <script language="JavaScript">var w = 500var h = 200window.resizeTo(w,h)var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;window.moveTo(winl,wint)</script> I think that works correctly. If it doesn't, please let me know what is right. Now, I just want to know how (if possible) to get rid of the Status bar, Scroll bars, and Tool bars from the current window. Please help!

	I've never seen any code that lets you dynamically remove window elements. To the best of my knowledge, that can only be controlled at window creation. You could open a new window will all the elements removed and have it load the document you want, and then close it's opener. Just a thought.

That might work... how would I close the "opener" window?

See what I'm doing is starting off with a Main Page. What I want is just to have links that say like popup.asp?page=friday.htm

This is working fine (currently it opens a new window and the window resizes itself)... but I want that popop to have no toolbars, etc. The reason I was doing it this way instead of having a function to open a new window on the main page was b/c I didn't want all that extra code on every page. If there is a way to use a .js that I can use, I guess I would rather do that than have 3 windows going instead of 2... but I just wanted this to be pretty easy by having a one time thing using ASP where I didn't have to mess with a javascript function.

Any ideas?

	Well, you just reference the window's opener by 'window.opener' so to close it would be 'window.opener.close()' I don't know ASP, so I'm not sure I can help ya there. Does each page open a different URL for the popup? What is the association?

So what code exactly would have to be on the opener window for it to open a new window, then close itself?

Code:

var w = 500var h = 200var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;var features = "width="+w+", height="+h+", top="+wint+", left="+winl;window.open(top.location.href,'',features);top.close();
