I have code which displays a largish image in a preview window, together with
some information about the image. I use this javascript to neatly resize the
window for the size of the content:
window.innerHeight = document.height + 20;
window.innerWidth = document.width + 20;
which very nicely resizes the window based on how much space its content needs
leaves just a little blank all round. However this code only works in
Navigator 4.7 so as you can imagine, not many people get the benefit of it
any more.
For other browsers, I pass window sizes from the server. However, these are
only approximations, and can result in my having windows with scrollbars,
which is exactly what I want to avoid. Is there some nifty DOM based way of
doing something like this for current browsers ?
