>From what I have learned PHP and JS don't "talk" directly to each other.
Instead, you have to make hidden fields in your html that hold the values
from your database then access those hidden fields with JS. If you want to
take values from JS and use them in a PHP script, then the process is
reversed; make hidden fields, set their values with JS then pass the hidden
fields to a PHP script.
In your case the relevant (abbreviated and untested) PHP code might look
like this:
<?php
//where $dbWindowHeight is a variable that has been assigned a value from
your db query
echo "<form>".
"<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"".$dbWindowHeight."\">".
"</form>";
?>
The relevant JS might look something like this:
var height = document.form.windowHeight.value;
Then for your window.open JS call, you'd substitute the var named height
into the string with the rest of the chromeless information.
If anybody knows an easier way, please post it because I'd love an easier
alternative if one exists.
Hope this helps. If not, I know there's a wealth of info in the PHP archives
about this subject. That's where I learned.

Subject: [PHP-DB] php variables to JS
Bruce Levick - VivamotionI am opening a chromless window with some JS code.
I need to pass some variables which come from rows in my database into the
jscript which will determine the size and URL of the window.
Before I go about drawing the info from the database I have set up some hard
code php variables just so i could test how to pass these into js.
Does anybody know how I can code these variables into my jscript??
Cheers
