    Resize browser window... why such a pain?

    I have an Intranet application that is targeted to IE browsers only.
    It is also designed explicitly to fit an 800x600 window. That said, I
    wish to ensure that the browser window sizes appropriately when they
    log in. I'm using this right now:

    <HEAD>
    <title>My Login Page</title>
    <meta content="Micros oft Visual Studio .NET 7.1" name="GENERATOR ">
    <meta content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1" name="CODE_LANG UAGE">
    <meta content="JavaSc ript" name="vs_defaul tClientScript">
    <meta content="http://schemas.microso ft.com/intellisense/ie5"
    name="vs_target Schema">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    {
    window.resizeTo (828,732)
    }
    </script>
    </HEAD>

      Oops... the rest of the post got chopped off.

      My existing solution is funky because it only works if the user has the
      default toolbar/menubar configuration of IE. I need a way to force the
      window to resize based on the content being 800x600 regardless of the
      menubar/toolbar height.

          Since you are using a lot of IE specific items already, I assume your
          intranet is IE only. If it is, then you can open a new window, the size
          you want, with the parameters you want, and then close the original
          window with window.close(). To get IE to allow you to close a window
          that you didn't open with script, set the original window's .opener
          property to anything you like and then it will be close-able by script.

              Have a poke around here and see if something suits:

              <URL:http://www.quirksmode. org/viewport/compatibility.h tml>

              clientWidth/Height may figure in the solution.

                  You should rather change that design, but this should help you for
                  the moment:

                  function resizeCanvas(nW idth, nHeight) {
                  var nDX, nDY, sMode, oCanvasContaine r;
                  if ((sMode = document.compat Mode) && sMode == "CSS1Compat ") {
                  oCanvasContaine r = document.docume ntElement;
                  }
                  else {
                  oCanvasContaine r = document.body;
                  }
                  if (oCanvasContain er) {
                  nDX = nWidth - oCanvasContaine r.clientWidth;
                  nDY = nHeight - oCanvasContaine r.clientHeight;
                  if (!isNaN(nDX) && !isNaN(nDY) && window.resizeBy ) {
                  window.resizeBy (nDX, nDY);
                  }
                  }
                  }
                  onload = function() {
                  resizeCanvas(80 0, 600);
                  }
