Q432 Is it possible to disallow a pop-up window to be maximized?

When opening a window use the attribute resizable:

window.open('apage.html','myWIndow','resizable=no');

The code does not work in Internet Explorer - you can maximise the window, and the resizable=no is ignored once you restore the size.

It is possible to 'disable' the minimize and maximize buttons in IE. Use the onresize event to resize the screen back to a size of your choice:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function scrsize(){
  window.resizeTo(800,600);
}
window.onresize=scrsize;
//--></SCRIPT>

It is possible in IE to resize the window each time the window is maximized. A maximizing event is detected as a resizing event. The code OnResize="self.resizeTo(WIDTH,HEIGHT)" must be placed into the BODY element in the pop-up window. Just look at the code below:

<body onResize="self.resizeTo(700,150)" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
