From: Charles Peyton Taylor <CTaylor@wposmtp.nps.navy.mil> | | Controling the User's browser is not | the answer. When I look at a web page, | it's my browser. It may be your document, | but it's still my browser. --- yes, but... I would be perfectly happy for my browser to ask me if it was alright to resize to a page's preferred size or (better) to open a new window of the preferred size without closing the existing main window. And when I use the "open URL in new window" option (which I increasingly find myself doing by default because the the "back" operation too often involves reloading the page), I would be perfectly happy for the new window to come up in the page's preferred size. I assume authors would not feel compelled to specify a page size unless they had a reason to (for instance, an image of a certain size) and that the browser could offer a preference allowed turning off auto-resize for those who hate it. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
