dialogHeight Property

Sets or retrieves the height of the modal dialog window.

Syntax

HTMLN/A
Scriptingwindow.dialogHeight [ = iHeight ]

Possible Values

iHeightInteger that specifies the height, in ems.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see dynamic propertiesInternet Link.

Remarks

The dialogHeight property applies only to windows created using the showModalDialog method.

Although a user can manually adjust the height of a dialog box to a smaller value—provided the dialog box is resizable—the minimum dialogHeight you can set using script is 100 pixels.

Example

This example creates a dialog window using the dialogHeight property to set the new window's height.

Sample Code

<SCRIPT>
function someMessage()
{
    event.srcElement.blur();
    window.showModalDialog("message.htm", "", 
        "dialogWidth:5cm; dialogHeight:10cm")
}
</SCRIPT> 
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SELECT onchange="someMessage()">
    <OPTION>Item 1</OPTION>
    <OPTION>Item 2</OPTION>
    <OPTION>Item 3</OPTION>
</SELECT>
