Resizing a Browser Window

When clicking on a button for a file transfer, I would like another browser
window to appear containing a form to be filled out before the download begins.

I would like to resize this new browser window to fit better the dimensions of
the form content and measurements.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Mike.

I have opened the "form" page in Dreamweaver and used the bahavours to try and
do this, but I'm having problems. When I test, two browser windows open up. One
without my new resize measurements and a second window on top of that (at the
new measurements) which continually looks for data (something keeps it looping
for info).

Add DW's "Open Browser Window" behavior to the link on your page that will
open the popup window.

When I choose the link as the place to add the behavour code for the new window
to open, I get two windows. One (I guess) opening a new browser window from the
link I specified and a second new browser window with the new measurements
(from the bahavour panel imput info). It seems to me that the page is reading
both and running the two. I'm probably just missing an easy step to stop this.
Accepting advice. Mike.

Go to your code for that link, it'll look something like this:

< a href="foo.html"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('foo.html','window','width=900,height=650')>popup
foo< /a >

Change the reference in the onclick to refer to 'this' (no quotes), and
add a 'return false;' to the end so it looks like this:

< a href="foo.html"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this,'window','width=900,height=650');return
false;" >popup foo< /a >

This will not only make the popup work, but will make the link
accessible to those that have javascript turned off.
