I haven't done any js in a while, but if the parent has a name then use

FSCommand to

interface with js and tell the parent to load the new URL.  I would think

this would

also be possible with GetURL by specifying the parent's name as the

'window'...

maybe _parent would work... you'll need to experiment, but it's probable

enough to

be worth the experimentation time.

Use FSCommand to talk to the javascript and have it call a js function to

resize the

window.  This can definitely be done.  You'll need to look up some js

resources on the

web though, or find a js guru, because my js skills are too rusty...


Hopefully this helps.  That's a definite 'probably' and a definite 'yes'.
