I'm looking for tags that control popup windows. Specifying the size alone leaves the different browsers free to display them in their own way. MSIE adds unwanted scroll bars, Apple's Safari browser allows window resizing and so on. Where can I find a complete list of tags that specifically prevent any features I don't want to allow?
You're talking about the "features string" of the window.open() method. There's a lot to this, and the bad news is that you will not have the kind of cross-browser control that you are looking for. For instance, Opera allows the user to resize a window no matter what you put in the code.
Here's a Microsoft reference [msdn.microsoft.com] on the topic. Netscape does things a little bit differently. And I'll be looking for the W3C reference as soon as I click submit.
What a shame -- I really prefer the standards bodies on things like this. However, here's a good tutorial from Webreference [webreference.com]. Solid, usually trustable, reference site.
