Window resizing

[Mike S]

I'm trying to resize a window to fit the size of an image displayed within
that window.
Sometimes the image may be pretty small (40-50 pixels height). The window
has no scrollbars, no location, ..., no other elements, only the regular
caption and borders.

First I opened the window using window.open(...) and I specified the width
and height the window. Except that the open method has a limitation, one
cannot make the height of the window under 100 pixels.

So in the new window opened, I wrote a javascript where I called
window.resizeTo and/or window.resizeBy to adjust the size of the window, but
I still cannot make it under 72 pixels height.

This should run on IE and NN.

Somebody knows a workaround?

TIA

Ok, the problem is that netscape will not allow windows under a
certain size (100x100pixels) because they consider it a security risk...
(a malicious program could lurk in a 1x1 pixel window...)
The solution is to access the netscape security object.
Here's the code required:

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('CanvasAccess');
your window open statement goes here
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.revertPrivilege("CanvasAccess");

Be sure to have the matching revertPrivilege statement or
the browser will crash. You should be able to open any size window you
want. good luck. Unfortunately I don't know the IE DOM, so you're on
your own. I presume there is some equivalent object to deal with.
