I have a web application which the customer requested that the browser window size will be changed when clicking on different buttons.

I found in that link that running the "chrome.exe" process with "--app" is very useful since the following javascript code will work even though it is not a child window: 

window.moveTo(580,240);
window.resizeTo(800,600);

Is there any equivalent in Firefox and IE for this "--app" mode ?
Thanks !

  • You might want to check out the firefox [command line options](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options). Another [relevant SuperUser Post](http://superuser.com/questions/55915/launching-firefox-into-chromeless-mode-from-command-prompt) that might come in handy. – Vivek Pradhan Oct 29 '14 at 10:00
  • Checked it already and did not find anything useful. Thanks anyway! – liorafar Oct 29 '14 at 10:02

I was able to answer my own question. however it must be done through child window. At first i tried to do the following:

var win = window.open(url);
win.resizeTo(800, 600);

That worked only when the parent window was alive. when i closed the parent, it did not work.
However the following function works even though you close the parent window: 

window.resizeTo(800,600);

it works for all IE, Firefox and Chrome.
thanks !
