Hi..
I am developing a product to maintain inventory. I have to take inputs through forms. The forms are very big and occupy about 80% of the screen, my problem is as follows. I use window.open and specify the size of the form. The problem is that its size shows differently on different machines even if the browser is IE. I have made the forms to fit perfectly on the screen I work but if I run the same code on a different machine the size changes I have to use the mouse to stretch the form to its expected size.
how to tackle this situation so that the same size form is displayed on every machine.

Thanks,

- KaN

Adjust all of your "heights" and "widths" to pixel values such as

<table width="350px">


This will force it to look the same no mater what the computer's resolution is.

The other thing to watch is if the other computer(s) have large font settings enabled (which would grossly enlarge and darken the fonts on the screen). Again, to side step this use pixel settings for your fonts and your fonts won't get re-sized.
