How do I open a new window on top (same position and size) of the opening window?

Martin Honnen,

NN4 and NN6 should be able to do it as follows using 
outerWidth/outerHeight:
var w = window.outerWidth;
var h = window.outerHeight;
var x = window.screenX;
var y = window.screenY;
var win = 
  open('http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com', 'windowName',
     'outerWidth=' + w + 
     ',outerHeight=' + h +
     ',left=' + x + 
     ',top=' + y +
     ',scrollbars=1,menubar=1,location=1,status=1,toolbar=1,resizable=1'
  );
With IE4+ you can try
var w = document.body.offsetWidth;
var h = document.body.offsetHeight;
var x = window.screenLeft;
var y = window.screenTop;
var win = 
  open('http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com', 'windowName',
     'width=' + w + 
     ',height=' + h +
     ',left=' + x + 
     ',top=' + y +
     ',scrollbars=1,menubar=1,location=1,status=1,toolbar=1,resizable=1'
  );
but it seems to have trouble to place the window at the right top 
position.
