Title: The IE you don't see
Post by: rosa3035 on July 23, 2003, 02:20:03 PM

Before I lost my memory (?) I was able to open a page in IE v5 by typing a colon and two or three forward slashes. (where?).
Does anyone in TS know anything about this page and how to open it.
I used to use it to resize images to a maximum size required by the sites to which I sent them. The kb size of the image that I set in PS was not the size transmitted, therefore, this resizing was necessary.

I'm almost positive Bernie posted that and a few others sometime back.
Try doing a search for Bernie.

Maybe Bern will pop in soon.

I don't know if this applies to rosa's thread.

Javascripts Rezize Procedure

Internet Explorer

To resize to full screen, copy the following in your address line.
 
java script:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight-20)

Hit "Return".

Save it as a favorite. Using IE's "Organize Favorites", move the new Favorite to the top so you can always readily go back to it.

To resize to 800x600, copy the following in your address line.

java script:resizeTo(800,600)

Hit "Return".

Save it as a favorite. Using IE's "Organize Favorites", move the new Favorite to the top so you can always readily go back to it.


Netscape

To resize to full screen, copy the following in your Location (address) line.

java script:moveTo(0,0);outerWidth=screen.availWidth;void(outerHeight=screen.availHei
ht)

Hit "Return".

Save it as a Bookmark. Using NS's "Edit Bookmarks", move the new Bookmark to the top so you can always readily go back to it.

To resize to 800x600, copy the following in your address line.

java script:void(outerWidth=800);void(outerHeight=600)

Hit "Return".

Save it as a Bookmark. Using NS's "Edit Bookmarks", move the new Bookmark to the top so you can always readily go back to it.

For a bunch of other javascripts go to

jb ... does this java script resize a jpg permanently? Or only for viewing in your browser? Guess I'll have to launch IE and try it.

I would think that if you have PS, it would be better to adjust graphics within the program and then do a "save as"? When I put pics on the web, I use the "save for web" as it really trims the size down.

This is interesting, and I'll have to tell Sneakers about it.

Kimmer,

Only for viewing in your browser. Useful if for some reason the window no longer fills the screen, or if you want to see the desktop behind the window.

My wife, Kimberly the kind and I were just talking about this...

and

Kimberly just tried the colon and three back slashes, and it didn’t work in OSX but does work in Classic and allows you to see the image size.

(note from Kimberly: in OS X, you type :// and wait while the ball spins, then you have access to your “local host” and every stinking file there. HA! Kimberly is glad she’s switched to Opera -- this is not nice.) :mad:

I'm not an IE person, I have always used Opera...

 

Happy Computing - Sneakers

 SNEAKERS: Please, please remind me where to type the colon and the slashes.

  Sneakers: Thank you for your help in reminding me of how I did this before losing my memory.
