Assign element width to window width after window rendered

Question

I want to get an html element's width like so:

var elementWidth = document.getElementById("myElement").style.width;

Then I want to assign this to the current window which is a popup created using:

window.open("myUrl","myName","width=200,height=200");

How would I go about doing that? Any pointers coz the windows cant be assign width & height values like elements.

Answer 1

This can be done by doing:

var elemWidth = document.getElementById("myElem").style.width;
var elemHeight = document.getElementById("myElem").style.height;
window.resizeTo(elemWidth,elemHeight);
