Prevent javascript from resizing IE window

internet explorerjavascriptwindow

I am looking for a way to prevent JavaScript on a webpage from resizing and repositioning my Internet Explorer window.

This option is available in Firefox, but I can't find anything similar in Internet Explorer:

Firefox Javascript Options window

I am using Internet Explorer 7 in Windows XP SP3.

For what it's worth, the script doing the resizing is:

<script language="JavaScript">
    function getFocus(){
        document.frmLogin.txtUsername.focus();
        window.moveTo(0,0);
        window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
    }
    window.onload = getFocus;
</script>

and this script seems to not resize the window with Internet Explorer 8, but upgrading is not currently an option (work computer).

I emailed the Internet Explorer team at the IEBlog and received the following response:

No, IE doesn't have options that are that fine-grained.
