Titolo: Sizing FIRST web Page

Greetings:
I know how to size a child window (po-up) however WITHOUT using FLASH, 
is there a way to size the FIRST PAGE of a web site (and all subsaquent 
pages as well) i.e. the WHOLE site would be, say 400px x 500px ?
Thanks in Advance!

 pages as well) i.e. the WHOLE site would be, say 400px x 500px ?
Not reliably.  Decent browsers block attempts to change the browser 
chrome, as well they should.  As a web author, you decide the content 
that's *inside* the window.  The user controls how big that window is, 
among other things.

 500px ?
There are Javascript solutions that will either 'fail' and do nothing
or 'succeed' and annoy your users.  It's not a good idea to try,
therefore.
If you post a URL then it may be that there's an alternative solution.

Soeey, this is work in progress. Our desire is to create a site where 
the entire site (all pages) are a fixed size. I have seen this with 
FLASH, but looking for aan HTML, DHTML, JAVA, CSS Solution.
So far, I have a java script that when the first page is accessed, will 
open the proper size pop up (actual site) AND close the parent window. I 
am working over in the JAVA groups to eliminate the WARNING message from IE.

Oh, ok. Java. IE.  Then I don't have to worry... I'll never see it.

not quite. It works very well in NS and opera as well.

Assuming they have the Java plugin installed. Although I think they might
mean JavaScript (which is entirely different from Java) - but that assumes
they have it enabled. Rather a lot of people don't.

I can assure you that no such thing would happen if I visited that site.

Definitely better hope you're the only site on the web offering
whatever it is you're offering, because you're not going to show up in
any search engines doing that.
Though closing the parent window will mean that I have to re-open it,
and re-open the search engine, to find another site with the same or
similar things.  On the other hand, next time I'm giving a
how-not-to-do-it demonstration, your site is likely to feature.  All
publicity is good publicity, right ;)

Why would you leave?
I saw that happening before in IExplorer. It's incredibly annoying. It 
was an Anti-Google site I can't find at the moment. It's a decision 
between: a) leaving the site immediately, b) turning off JavaScript and 
reload the thing, or c) allowing the site to mess with my browser. The 
content better be good if you want your readers to stay even with such 
an immense technical flaw (to which there is absolutely no reason, 
either).
