left menu

[Charles]

Hello, I want to do the following using JS: when you click a link, the window resizes to 100% height
and aligns to the right + it opens another window that is 100% height x 300px width and aligned to
the left.

This makes two windows one next to the other, occupying the whole screen. I want to do this to put
links of bookmarks on the left window used as a navigation window. Can some one give me a script
that will do just this ?
Thanks,

Problem is, you have no reliable way of knowing how much space the
browser has access to. A better solution would be to use style sheets
and <DIV> tags, and assume teh user will have the window sized to his
needs. This also has the advantage of being easier for the likes of
google to search through.

Re: left menu

Thanks Fabian, I did it actually :) http://www.abahia.com/bookmark
It's working fine, just for my screen resolution for now (1600 x 1200), but then it's easy, I just
have to add "if" conditions to resize it to 800x600, 1024x768, etc...
I have another problem: on the index page I want a button that'll close both open windows (kind of a
logout function). I haven't been able to have it work. Could you have a look at it please ?
Thanks,

You do not need and you do not want to manipulate the working area of your
visitors by doubtful means.

What about my other (browser) windows that are forced in the background then?

You are looking for frames or (better) a frame-like layout with CSS.
Popup windows can be used, too, but do not resize the parent window then.

I could but I will not since it is *my* desktop, not yours.

P.S.
Your automagic line-break comes too late, constriction to 80 characters
per line is required and constriction from 72 up to 76 characters is
recommended (I have wrapped it here.) Please reconfigure your news client
correctly.
