The resize, resizable argument doesn’t work in FF, I have tried setting both to "no" but you can still resize the window. Does anyone know of another way?
Here are a couple of items from Mozilla's Gecko DOM Reference:
How do I turn off window resizability or remove toolbars?
You can not by force. Mozilla users can have absolute control over window functionalities (resizability and scrollability) and toolbars presence by editing user preferences in about:config or via advanced prefs. We recommend to always set the resizability and scrollbars presence (if needed) to yes to insure accessibility to content and usability of windows.
resizable
If this feature is set to yes, then it will make the new secondary window resizable.
Note: Mozilla-based browsers since version 1.4 will have a window resizing grippy at the right end of the status bar; this is to assure users that they can resize a browser window even when the web author explicitly or implicitly requested to make such secondary window non-resizable. In such case, the maximize/restore down system command icon in the titlebar will be disabled and window resizing borders will be unresponsive but the window will still be resizable via that window resizing grippy in the status bar.

Furthermore you don't have to even add "yes," "no," "1," or "0" to the attributes to make a window resizable. All you need to do is include it:
<html>
<head><title>Untitled</title></head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:resize();">test resizable</a><br>
<a href="javascript:noresize();">test no resize</a>
<script language="javascript">
function noresize() {
var win=open('','test1','width=500,height=500');
win.document.write('Non resizable');
win.document.close();
}
function resize() {
var win=open('','test2','width=500,height=500,resizable');
win.document.write('Resizable');
win.document.close();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
A possible clue, for the longest time I kept spelling resizeable with an E. :-)

function openWin(URL) {
aWindow = window.open(URL,"thewindow",
"width = 435, height = 420, scrollbars = yes, status = no, resizable = no");
}

I've always tested my pages using NS and IE and this always worked. Since downloading FF I find the world isn't the same.
You said your test worked in FF? I tried it and could still resize the noresize.
Isn't Netscape Mozilla? The window will not resize with it.
I couldn't get it to resize at all, either way. I just fired up an old copy of NN 7.1 to double-check it, and the maximize button upper right is grayed out on the noresize version. Don't know what's going on there.
