title: Javascript resizing of Firefox pop-up window?
body: <p>I'm just learning Javascript and jQuery, but I'm an HTML'r trying to take the next step..</p>
  
  <p>I'm attempting to drop content into a table, which can be any size at all (It's for a news site). I check for size and then resize the popup accordingly; while the window isn't exactly right it works, but in Firefox it's not even resizing. </p>
  
  <p>Using a generic link to pop-open a basic window:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a onclick="window.open('http://site.local/popup/','popup','width=1,height=1')"&gt;popup&lt;/a&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm pointing it to a default page where the cms is placing all content into a table (id="top"). It has a default width="1" to force a constraint, and then letting the content expand the table to set the real size. I then check the table size to see and resize the window on document.ready():</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
   &lt;!--
   $(document).ready(function() {
    var divh = document.getElementById('top').offsetHeight;
    var divw = document.getElementById('top').offsetWidth;
  
    //Test size
    //alert("Table: width= " + divw + "px / height= " + divh +"px");
  
    //Resize
    window.resizeTo(divw,divh);
    }    
   --&gt;
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to be able to resize a window already opened in Firefox. </p>
  
  <p>All the window sizes (except Firefox) are off but I can pad them - a little larger is better than cut-off. Firefox, unfortunately, generates a tiny 180w x 249h window and never resizes. </p>
  
  <p>I've searched here unsuccessfully - most suggest editing a setting in firefox, which I clearly can't expect users to do. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? </p>
