.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007Maximizing the Browser
This is an embarrasingly simple question, but how do you maximize the browser when you've clicked a hyperlink that has a target of '_blank'? Thanks. Ross Hi, > This is an embarrasingly simple question, but how do you maximize the > browser when you've clicked a hyperlink that has a target of '_blank'? > > Thanks. > > Ross You cannot, and it would be quite rude to do that anyway. I have 1920x1200 on two screens. You think I really want your page to take all that space? HTH, Laurent  SignatureLaurent Bugnion [MVP ASP.NET] Software engineering, Blog: http://www.galasoft.ch PhotoAlbum: http://www.galasoft.ch/pictures Support children in Calcutta: http://www.calcutta-espoir.ch Laurent, I appreciate what you're saying. I wouldn't maximize the browser for every hyperlink. But in some case, like this one, it's a true web application: an order entry system, where opening a new browser is like opening a new window in a Windows application. Users don't want to have to maximize the screen everytime they open this application. But if it can't be done, it can't be done.

It can be done fairly easily but, as Laurent says, will achieve nothing other than to really irritate your users... SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net You don't know my users. So, how is that done? >> But if it can't be done, it can't be done. > > It can be done fairly easily but, as Laurent says, will achieve nothing > other than to really irritate your users... >>> But if it can't be done, it can't be done. >> >> It can be done fairly easily but, as Laurent says, will achieve nothing >> other than to really irritate your users... > So, how is that done? http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4 GGIH_en-GBGB220GB220&q=JavaScript+window+maximize SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Perfect! Thanks, again, Mark.

I don't necessarily agree. If Ross is writing an app in which the only thing the CSRs do is order entry, it's a perfectly good solution, IMO. OK, I can accept that - but if thats the case it may be better to put the browser in Kiosk mode and be done with it Regards John Timney (MVP) http://www.johntimney.com http://www.johntimney.com/blog > On Aug 30, 4:23 pm, "John Timney \(MVP\)" > <x_j...@timney.eclipse.co.uk> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > only thing the CSRs do is order entry, it's a perfectly good solution, > IMO.
