size of web page

How can the width and height of a web page be controlled. It would be nice
if the web page size (for a link) could be revised so it can appear like a
message dialog instead of the full size page.

I guarantee it has no evil intent. All I want it for is to throw up a
message in a pop-up (another page) that tells the user something like "fill
in the cotton picken edit box." just like in the desktop world of
programming.

I know advertising pop-ups are evil and I hate them also.

modern browsers can prevent you from fiddling with window width/height
(and
a lot of other giggly stuff)

if its just a link to another site you're better off just using a normal
link, if people want to open that link in a new window they can do it
themselves.

full size page.

what you want is a <evil>popup</evil> with the width and height specified
but many people use various means to block them.

without knowing what you really want one for i can only recommend against
it because its evil and put you on my "people not to be saved" list when
armageddon arrives.

sure, thats what they all say.

hmmmmm... i think this would be more appropriate:

Javascript form validation ¡V doing it right
http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmatters/formval.html

but don't forget you still need to validate server side.

What happened here? The encoding change from ISO-8859-1 to
"Traditional Chinese (Big5)" for no reason at all.
Is it me or is it you?

JavaScript alert is maybe what your are thinking?

alert("fill in the cotton picken edit box.");

Strewth. I've only been gone a day or three enjoying the freedom of the
Alps in Springtime and the elusive brucie drops back in again in my
absence.
