# Linking: Resize Window?

 * Hey there,
 * I’ve got a standalone flash-based mp3 player that plays my music on my blog. 
   I have a link to it in my links category in the sidebar which opens up in a new
   window. The problem is, the new window is a full screens size. The player is 
   small, and it looks ridiculous by itself. I would like to be able to launch it
   in a new window that is sized appropriately to the player. I know it can be done
   using Javascript, but is there any way to do this on wordpress?
 * Thanks,
 * David Orr

 * If you use widgets, you can put your javascript in a text widget and put it in
   the sidebar. The advantage of that is you don’t need to edit your theme files
 * Or you can directly edit your sidebar. This means editing your theme files, but
   might be your preference.
 * Javascript it the way to go if you want a custom window size on an onclick.

 * Alright, I’ve got what I need, but I’m not exactly sure how to actually resize
   it. I’ve looked around google for code snipits, but none of them actually resize
   the window. Any ideas?

 * Resize? It doesn’t need to be resized after it’s opened, it can be opened at 
   the right size to start. That can be done with an onclick for your link. I might
   make a little listen picture, and then apply an onclick to it.
 * `<img onclick="window.open('whateverpage.html','','width=200,height=100,scrollbars
   =no')" src="images/listenimage.jpg" alt="Listen!">`
 * If I haven’t make a typo, that example should display an image, and when you 
   click it, open a new window 200 x 100 and have scrollbars off.
 * Would that suit you?
