javascript - window.resize is not working in chrome and opera

Question

window.resize is not working in chrome and opera ..how to make it work?

Answer 1

There is no window.resize()

...however...

There are:

window.resizeTo(width, height)

window.resizeBy(x, y)

Important notes:

1. You can't resize a window or tab that wasn’t created by window.open.
2. You can't resize a window or tab when it’s in a window with more than one tab.
3. Also, even if you create window by window.open(...) it is not resizable by default ...see 4.
4. To make window created by window.open() resizable, you must open it with resizable feature

Example of how to create external window with "resizable" feature:

myExternalWindow = window.open("http://myurl.domain", "myWindowName", "resizable");
myExternalWindow.resizeTo(500,500); //resize window to 500x500
myExternalWindow.resizeBy(-100,-100); //make it smaller relatively => to 400x400

PS: There are also browser extensions that allow window resizing... (Chrome)(Mozilla Firefox)
