function myFunction(){
window.open("http://example.com", "myWindow", "height=150,
width=150");
}
Do I really need to add "myWindow" just to load the new window in a size of
150X150? Whenever I remove the "myWindow" code, the sample site is loaded in full-screen. And yes I've tried adding "" and it worked. Why is it even necessary? I've also tried the code above but doesn't work as well:
function myFunction(){
window.open("http://example.com");
window.resizeTo(150, 150)
}
According to the API specifications of Window.open(), you specify the window features in the 3rd parameter. Therefore, you need to set the 2nd parameter, otherwise whatever you specify in the 2nd parameter will be interpreted as the window name.
you can pass _blank instead of myWindow.
window.open is rather browser specific, you need to test it. There are ethical problems surrounding its use so some attributes do not operate in newer browsers because of malicious javascript programming.

"myName" as a parameter value is like an id for the early javascript to have a clear reference to the window for programming.
Here's a good link for modern x-browser. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open
if you don't want to set a custom name, according to the docs you can set the name string as "_blank" which is the default. This parameter is necessary because all window.open parameters are positional, that means that if you want to set specs you need to define URL and name.
"myWindow"with""?
