Adobe GoLive Page Sizing Question

Hi, I've had to switch from Dreamweaver to Adobe Go Live because I can't get Dreamweaver to run on Mac Os 10.3.4 or 10.3.5. Anyone else having this problem?
Ok my real question is that the page I'm designing is 760 x 500 pixels. How do I set it in Go Live so that when somebody opens my page, their browser automatically resizes their window to 760 x 500 pixels?


Cheers

But I won't be visiting your site then.

Just center it and let the user resize how they'd like.

Cheers Big Perm.

Thats what I've been doing Ryan, but if it resized itself then I think it looks a little more professional.

And you would be violating perhaps the number one rule of any interface:

Don't mess with the users settings. Period. Its too confusing for them.

i get pissed off when something resizes my browser, or a website goes full-screen without warning. as much as people hate them (people = ryan) i would think that if you absolutely NEED the window to be a certain size, a pop-up is your best bet. imho.

I can't think of any reason you NEED to resize the window. If you want the content a certain size, you can just size the div and center it.

I hate resizing windows. Not only that it isn't consistent, consistency is a key element and basic principle in designing especially an interface.
