What is the best way to set the size of the browser window when the page loads? I think this can be done in JavaScript. Please explain. Here is my code that is not working!

<html>
<body onload="window.resizeTo(640,480)">
<video src="rushmore.mp4" controls="controls">
your browser does not support the video tag
</video>
</body>
</html>

This should do the trick, setting the height and width to your desired dimensions.

window.resizeTo(500,500)

You could set it onload.

<body onload="window.resizeTo(500,500)">
