Can I set a new window size in an email link?

Smiling Ogre · #1 (**permalink**) 05-02-2007, 08:43 AM

Using links in webpages I have set the size of the new window that opens when people click the link. But, these do not work in email.

Does anyone know how to set the window size in links that will be used in email?

I want someone to click the link in the email and the browser window that opens will be a set size like 400x200. Any ideas?

This is not for commercial email but for one person to send another person they know an email. The link would be to an image they created. Right now, the window opens full size with a small image in it. I'd like to have the window open to fit the image.

The only way I know of to achieve this is to have the resizing happen in the page itself, not through the link.

Something like this should help:

Code:

window.resizeTo(intwidth,intheight)

The red items are the ones you would need to change. You could even do that dynamically through the link using query strings, if you really wanted to. You would just need to write your resizing script so that it grabs the width and height dimensions from the query string.

Unfortunately, I can't set the window because each instance is a different window size. That was why I wanted to control it in the email link.

I searched all over and looks like I'm out of luck. It's just not possible.

Thanks for the help!

If you created the pages to be opened, Curtiss' method will work for you. If you do not have access to edit those pages, then I can see why not. Just add his code to the JS code(s) within the <head> tags.

EDIT: If you are able to generate the links, maybe you can try the option's value I used here.
