animated window resizing.....

[the truthbaby]

no does any one know a good way of getting a browser window to resize (larger AND smaller) in an animation form rather than a simple self.resize()? an example of what imean is over at http://devlab.swift3d.com - go click on the first section wait for the load and then go to 'rock the bells' and veiw project. i would just link there but it would disable the code.

i've found a couple of answers on being a dreamweaver extentions of all things and and one that launches a new window and thne expands it across the screen.

what i'm trying to do is morph a window between different size page AND see it happening.

any help greatfully taken.

Here's a very messy function I use to resize a popup:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> function makeSize(x1,y1) {
if(document.layers) x2 = innerWidth;
else x2 = document.body.clientWidth;
if(document.layers) y2 = innerHeight;
else y2 = document.body.clientHeight-4;
//window.moveTo((screen.width / 2) - (x2 / 2),(screen.height / 2) - (y2 / 2));
if(y2 < y1+5 && y2 > y1-5 && x2 < x1+5 && x2 > x1-5) {
window.resizeTo(x1,y1);
window.moveTo((screen.width / 2) - (x1 / 2),(screen.height / 2) - (y1 / 2));
} else {
if(y1+4<y2) { window.resizeBy(0,-6); window.moveBy(0,3); }
if(y1-4>y2) { window.resizeBy(0,6); window.moveBy(0,-3); }
if(x1+4<x2) { window.resizeBy(-6,0); window.moveBy(3,0); }
if(x1-4>x2) { window.resizeBy(6,0); window.moveBy(-3,0); }
setTimeout("makeSize(" + x1 + "," + y1 + ")",10);
}
}</font id=code></pre id=code>

just call the function using: makeSize(400,300);

Do you have a link so I can see how you are trying to use it.
