I have a client that uses a web app extensively that utilizes popup windows to display search results. Her problem is that when popups get displayed, they are very small in size and she is forced to resize the window every time.

  • I've tried resizing, closing IE9 and all tabs, and reopening.
  • Restarting the computer multiple times.
  • Upgrading from IE8 to IE9 did not seem to fix this issue either, so I have to believe a fresh install or repair will not fix this problem.
  • I am aware of the setting in internet options that allows for popups to be created as new tabs, but she is not fond of that idea and prefers a new popup window.

So my question is, is there some setting that I am missing out on here that will allow me to set how large popup windows are? Hopefully there is a simple solution to this and I am just missing something.

You can set the size of a popup window with JavaScript. window.open has a height and width property. You may need to go in and modify this code. – P.Brian.Mackey Jun 1 '11 at 14:09
Have you access to the server? If so this shoul work: win2 = window.open("win2.html", "Window2", " width=310,height=600,scrollbars=yes"); – slotishtype Jun 1 '11 at 14:37
