Trying to open a new window on hyperlink to open to a set width and height browser window.

can I do this with pseudo classes in css?

No, that would be done with Javascript. You can't edit the size of a browser with CSS.

Ask in the Javascript forum for how to do this.

Well, is there a way to do it WITHOUT javascript?

Nope don't think so, heres how to do it though

Code:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) {
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.google.com','Window Title','width=500,height=500')">dfgdfgdfg</a>
</body>
</html>

Doesn't seem to work in Internet explorer 7..

Yes, I agree. You need to use Java script in order to set the width and height of a pop up window. You can't do it with CSS.

Um...delayed post?

You could use a CSS div instead of a popup to create the same effect. Obviously it wouldnt appear as a window on the taskbar and so long as you had a close button it could be done. It would still require some javascript though (Close button and whatnot)
