I hope this is the right forum..

I need to open a window, and resize and reposition it in the onload() event. When I do this, the window opens in one location, and then jumps to the new location.

how can I prevent the "jump" from being so visible?

the code is :

function loadv() // called from the onload event.
{

if (document.all.VSel.value=="2") {

var t = document.all.tblData;

var iw;
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
iw = window.parent.window.opener.window.innerWidth;
}
else {
iw=window.parent.window.opener.window.document.bod y.clientWidth;
}

window.resizeTo(t.offsetLeft + t.offsetWidth+50, t.offsetHeight + t.offsetTop + 50);

var w;
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
w = window.innerWidth;
}
else {
w=document.body.clientWidth;
}

var l=(window.parent.window.opener.window.screenLeft + iw)-w;
window.moveBy(l, window.screenTop);
}
window.focus();
}

This is actually the ASP forum, not JS, but here's my idea.. on the onLoad event, you launch the new window, then set the focus on the parent window to bring it back to the front covering your new window while it resizes and adjusts it's location, then sets the focus back on the child window after the window alteration is complete.

Never tried it, but another idea might be to try to set the size of the window to be really small, do the window location adjustment, then the resize...

I tried both ideas - setting focus to the parent window while the window resizes, and setting the window size to a very small size - none of them worked!
Thanks anyway.
maybe i'll try the js group..

Did they not work, or not work as expected?
