I would like to be able to open a new window from a link that sizes itself to the monitor size and resolution.

I use Copernic Agent as a search engine.
Copernic (http://www.copernic.com)
When I open a result from the search it opens in a new broswer window that sizes itself to my screen.

When ever I use tag target="_new: or target="_blank" it opens a window that needs to be resized.
How can I aviod this.

I notice in Netscape it will open a full size window but in explorer the window needs to be resized.

I have tried the table method but due to the graphic nature of my site it destorts everything.

<a href="pop=window.open('page.htm','','top=0,left=0');pop.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);">popup</a>

could make that even a little bit simpler:

<a href="window.open('page.htm','','top=0,left=0').resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);">popup</a>

i've always wondered if that could be done, and i finally just tried it now, and it works in Moz, and IE6.

I tried both sets of tag <a href> code and it would not display the page. It just gave error message.

Here is the source code.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META name="description" content="">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080">
<a href="window.open('http://www.prohosting.com','','top=0,left=0').resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);">Version1</a>
<a href="pop=window.open('http://probe.prohosting.com','','top=0,left=0');pop.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);">Version2</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>

What am I doing wrong?

This is the code I am using now.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<META name="description" content="">

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080">
<a href="javascript:window.open('http://www.proamrodeo.com','','top=0,left=0').resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);">Version1</a>
<a href="javascript:pop=window.open('http://probe.prohosting.com','','top=0,left=0');pop.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);">Version2</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I know how to add the attributes to resize, scroll etc.
What I would like to be able to do is to have the new window resize to the screen size automatically.

is the new window from another domain? That will breach the cross-domain security (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/om/xframe_scripting_security.asp)
