Reset to default 2It is quite simple window.open([URL], 'width=[some number],height=[some number]');.
In this if you have any return values with window.showmodaldialog which you are using in the opener window, you have to handle them with window.opener.
Have a look at https://developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/DOM/window.open http://www.w3schools./jsref/met_win_open.asp
