WARNING: They will resize your browser. (Clever HTML/Javascript. Firefox recommended)

I like it when I click on a link expecting it to be annoying, but it ends up being pretty damn clever.

I'd like them to run around my desktop and look for files when I use my "search" function, too.

Worked fine here. FF v1.5 on Ubuntu.

Firefox 1.5 perfectly fine on Windows. Very cool.

I hate when sites resize the browser window (does this even make sense with a tabbed browser?). But that was pretty damn cool.

Loved it, although a loading screen wouldn't have hurt.

Is is spoze to leave my window smallish? Mac, FF.

EndsOfInvention — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 16:17:13 -0800

I don't get it, was this supposed to actually resize the browser? I'm using FF2.0 on XP and it just loaded a small Flash video in a normal, maximised window for me. Maybe because I use FlashBlock?

for firefox: Edit->Preferences->Content, click on the Advanced... button next to Enable JavaScript If you enable Move or resize existing windows, it should work. Personally, I would recommend keeping everything in there disabled. pretty clever. perhaps the only good reason i've found to enable that option, however briefly :)

If you have noscript you have to temporarily allow javascript.

I've been on the web a dozen or so years now, and this is the first time a site resized my browser and it didn't annoy the hell out of me by doing so. /browser resize, worst browser feature EVER!

So what am I missing here? I just get a black window with a black flash box in the middle that take a minute to load and then does nothing.

very nice and yeah make sure the noscript FF ext. is off for that site.

By: taosbat

taosbat — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 17:10:11 -0800

octothorpe, the window resizes and moves around in sync with the actions. If you're using Firefox, you need to follow christy's directions (except, in my FF it's Tools > Options > Content, click on the Advanced...) &, if you're running anything like NoScript, you may have to allow the site. I'm not sure it's really worth all that work. It's cute...but...

Hm. They resized it so much that every time I open it I have to maximize it. It was cool, but now it's just annoying.

Hmm. That was actually worth it, although I remember now why I usually keep all that javascript stuff turned off.

That was pretty slick. But I'm going to hold out for version 2.0 where they react to me resizing my own browser. I will crush those little dudes.

Just some dudes doing wacky stuff in the middle of my screen (in Opera). No resizage.

I have to agree with all the raves - that was far cooler than anything you could through under the Web 2.0 banner. Talk about thinking (and stretching!) outside the box!
