Need Window Resizing Tips

Hey guys. Long time lurker here finally getting around to posting. Hi.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

Pop up appears to user ---> user clicks ---> the presell page loads and it resizes to maximize in their window (not doing a _blank and throwing yet another window in their faces)

I can make it resize to a specific dimension when they click it, but this is tricky because people have different resolutions and even if I do pick a good dimension, it's still gonna expand the window all funky and not be centered depending on where on the screen the original pop up came from.

I've been using this code on the presell page for the time-being:


But I need a better solution.

Anybody up for explaining how we can all make our presells maximize correctly after the pop is clicked?

you use js why not read out the window properties before.
search on google for "JavaScript tutorial - Window size and scrolling" it seams a bit tricky because not all browers use the same dom tree.

Instead of giving specific diminsions you could do this.

Code:

<script>
function maximize() {
  window.moveTo(0, 0);
  window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);
}
maximize();
</script>

Click to expand...

this is what I use

do you put this code on the redirect page or on your lander that the user sees?
