be browsing the internet within a Windowlette that is actually part of my

this, Reloading the page is simply out of the question.  This is where my
dilema is...how to resize everything with the browser window.....WITHOUT
having to reload the page.  If anyone has ideas, I am open to them...no

If you are replying to my post,
I was wondering if you were intending on supporting Netscape 4, because:
* NS4 doesn't support I-frame, and it's I-layer will reload your whole page
if someone clicks a link.
* NS4 has problems when resizing the page, and will need a lot of
experimenting with to get this working.

If you DO want to support NS4, I think you'd have to use a frame-set for
that browser (which will also have it's problems, but that's the same with
I-frame), and if you can't get around the NS4 resizing bug, you could add a
history module, so users could go back|forward, and use it to reset the
users page after a resize/reload.

For all other browsers you simply do something like this:

DynAPI.onResize=function() {

myWindow.moveTo(DynAPI.document.getWidth()/2-318,DynAPI.document.getHeight()
/2-180)
 myWindow.setSize etc...
}
