hi all,
i'd like to write a script that, when run from the script menu in X, can
resize the window size of the front window of internet explorer to 640 x
480. any ideas?
I'm not a JavaScript expert, but I use this (poached) script to open
a window to full screen. If you aren't opposed to JavaScript, maybe
you can modify it to suit your needs. (OS 9.1/IE 5.1)
tell application "Internet Explorer"
do script
"javascript:window.moveTo(0,0);window.resizeTo((screen.width/1),(screen.height/1))"
end tell
FYI, I've pasted the JavaScript into the URL slot of the home page in
IE's prefs (Browser Display>Home Page). Here's what you need to put
in there:
javascript:window.moveTo(0,0);window.resizeTo((screen.width/1),(screen.height/1))
I also have the "Automatically go to this Home Page when opening a
new window" selected. With this arrangement, new windows are opened
to full screen.
'Nuther FYI. You can create a bookmark using the above JavaScript as
the URL. Put the bookmark in the IE toolbar and it'll resize the
front window with one click, or, if you use the "Home" tip above,
press the home button.
Yet another FYI. In IE 5.1/OS 9.1, you can drag the icon of an
AppleScript script to the toolbar to create a shortcut to the script
(only works with scripts saved as applications I believe). This acts
as a once-click script launcher of sorts, allowing one to launch
scripts without leaving IE. :-)
