Maybe you could with javascript tell it to open no winder then X pixels... But I don't know anything about it. To make it happen though I had to intentionally move my browser window over to the left hand monitor and click and drag it over to the right. I couldn't even hit the maximize button to make it happen. Personally I don't think it's anything that you as a site designer needs to worry about... If he doesn't like it stretching between the monitors, have him shrink it :) Like I said, when I did stretch it that wide, it still looked centered to me :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
