213209 - Popup window size as screen resolution percentage.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Beta]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

going to http://www.yellowjug.com/menu.htm and clicking on the button "chat
room" a popup with the chat appears. Its size should respect determined
proportions (width 80% and height 65% of the screen resolution), but the window
opens full screen and the chat display the private section not joined to the
main anim.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to the URL, click on "chat room"
2.enter in the chat room and click on a user (e.g. yourself) a private message
section appears


Actual Results:  
You see a blank space between the main chat section and the private message
section. 

Expected Results:  
it should have respected the proportion I assigned  (see the code in the
additional information) to the popup window; in this way the main chat section
and the private message section would be perfectly linked (without a blank space
between them).

-------------THIS IS THE CODE WHICH ASSIGNS VARIABLES

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"> 
<!-- 
function dim() 
   { 
   var bb,aa; 
   if(document.layers) 
      { 
      bb=screen.Width/100*80; 
      aa=screen.Height/100*65; 
      } 
   else 
    if(document.all) 
       { 
        bb=screen.Width/100*80; 
        aa=screen.Height/100*65; 
       } 
   MiaFin =
window.open('cgi-bin/click.php?what=../chat/index.php','Chat','toolbar=no,
location=no, status=no, menubar=no, directories=no,
Width='+(bb)+',Height='+(aa)+',scrollbars=no, resizable=no');  
  } 


----------THIS IS THE CODE THAT RECALLS THE POPUP (this code is inserted in a
flash animation button)

getURL("javascript:dim();");

document.layers is for Netscape 4
document.all is for Internet Explorer
Thus, you are offering no result to Mozilla.

I would suggest reading
http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2001/updating-dhtml-web-pages/ as a
starting point on how to update your script.
