    Possible to change popup attribute from within?

    Is it possible to change a popup window's 'resizable attribute from within
    the popup window itself?

    I create the popup window with the window.open(... .) function and use a
    resizable=no parameter. But within the popup window itself, would it be
    possible to then change the resizable property to enable the window to be
    resized?

    Many thanks for your expertise!

    No.

    Then don't do that. If the content fits the window, the user will
    most likely not resize the window. It the content doesn't fit (and
    that can happen due to circumstances outside your control), he *needs*
    to be able to resize it.

      Thanks. The reason for my question is this:

      I have a hyperlink in the popup window that, if clicked, I would like to
      display in the same window, however - I want the hyperlinked display window
      to be resizable. (I don't want to popup yet another window for the hyperlink
      in the popup)

      Thanks!
