Setting window size on load

[Praveen Sharma]

I have a jsp page (lets call it jsp1) which I submit and the form action redirects to a new jsp page ((lets call it jsp2)

JSP1:

<form name="something" action="jsp2" method="POST"> 

Now when jsp2 loads I want it to be in a smaller window size, lets say width=500, height=500.

But as the new window (jsp2) is launched as a result of a form action I am not able to control the dimensions.
Another approach I tried out was calling window.resizeTo() on the onload event for jsp2 page. But there is problem. What happens is that the jsp2 window loads in default size and after a delay of 2-3 seconds it shrinks to the size I have set. Does'nt look good.

Please help out with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Use window.open() to create a new window the size you want.

not sure if I can do that as this new jsp (jsp2) is a result of a form submit.
Is there any other way ?

Well first of all, do you really think that it would be acceptable for you to resize the user's browser just because they visit your page? I know personally, I'd never go there again. Please read this for more information.

You can target the form submission to the new window.
