Resizing the browser

Question

I want to resize the browser using my javascript or jquery code. I have tried by modifying window.InnerRadius value. Please

function resize() {
            window.innerWidth = 700;
        }

<button onclick="resize()">resize</button>

But it is not working. Is it possible to resize browser using JavaScript or jquery?

Some browser vendors removed that feature from their JavaScript implementations, right around the time of the rick-roll, when they also removed the constant `alert()`'s popping up non-stop to prevent you from closing the page. — Mayazcherquoi, Mar 17 '17 at 09:44

Try doing this . Use resizeTo()

function resize() {
           window.resizeTo(250,250); //window.resizeTo(width,height);
        }

<button onclick="resize()">resize</button>

This is working fine in IE11. But not working for other browsers like chrome and firefox. – Sanjith Mar 17 '17 at 09:42
Most of the modern browsers don't allow it I guess. You can try opening a new window and then resize it. – Gayathri Mohan Mar 17 '17 at 09:51

This should do it, although - as you may know - it is not particularly recommended that this is done. It is detrimental to user experience, usually.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function changeScreenSize() {        
        window.resizeTo(screen.width-300,screen.height-500)   
    }
</script>

<body onload="changeScreenSize()">

This also might work:

window.resizeTo( width, height );

But as far as I understand it, there is NOT a way to resize the browser in Chrome.

You can play with window's size provided if it is created using window.open(). Please refer this link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/resizeTo, especially the NOTE: section.
