Question on window resizing......

when my web page is opened, I want the user window to automatically resize to a size specified by me. How would I go about doing this?

Google for 'resizing browser with javascript' to find lots of scripts.
Here's one I use:

<a href="page.html" onClick="window.open('page.html', 'windowname',
'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,m enubar=no,scrollbars=yes,r
esizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=300,height=290') ;return false;">Text
Link</a>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
self.moveTo(0,0)
self.resizeTo(600,450)
//--></script>

Change moveTO and resizeTo numbers as desired

this is one of the reasons why folks will disable JavaScript.

Be aware that some regard this as rude behavior.

This will resize the CURRENT window...not usually a good idea. It'll piss
some (if not many) people off.

Not me. It won't do anything in my browser. ;-)

What makes you sure ...

* that the user will like it?
* that the new window size will fit the user's screen?
* that the window will be fully visible at this place on screen?
* that the user's browser will allow such crap at all?

Change the entire stuff to an empty string before release, that works
best. Only use such scripts if you want to annoy visitors, that makes it
easier for them to leave the site immediately.

and...

* the user isn't using multipe monitors
* the user doesn't have their side-bars open (bookmarks, history, etc...)
