Resize a popup window in JavaScript?

I have a window that opens a popup and displays an .aspx file in the popup. Clicking on various links (from an image map) generate different .aspx files in the popup.

I know how large the popup is supposed to be, but I can't make the thing resize when I click on a different link. The first one opens to the correct size, but when I click on subsequent links, the text in the popup changes, but it doesn't resize. I've tried running a function that should resize in the body statements of the various files loaded in the popup, but that doesn't work.

Here are samples. I can send the entire thing to anyone who IM's me.

Sample:

From the main page:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function openWindow(url, name, hhh) {

self.name = "main";

popupWin = window.open(url, name, "width=350,height=" + hhh + ",left=125,top=125");

popupWin.focus()

}

// -->

</script>

<area title="Alaska" shape="poly" coords="5,354,24,286,70,263,105,278,142,356,139,366,121,365,7,358"

href="javascript:openWindow('states/stateAK.aspx',%20'statepop','400');"

alt="Alaska">

</area>

<area title="Connecticut" shape="poly" coords="513,116,529,113,530,121,513,130"

href="javascript:openWindow('states/stateCT.aspx',%20'statepop','225');"

alt="Connecticut">

</area>

From stateCT.aspx (one of the files that displays in the popup)

<html>

<head>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function FitText() {

self.resizeto = (350, 400);

}

// -->

</script>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/state.css" />

</head>

<body onload='FitText();'>

    var x = 0;

    function openWindow(url, name, hhh) {

    if (x == 0) {

    self.name = "main";

    popupWin = window.open(url, name, "width=350,height=" + hhh + ",left=125,top=125");

    popupWin.focus()

    x = 1;

    } else {

    popupWin.close();

    popupWin = window.open(url, name, "width=350,height=" + hhh + ",left=125,top=125");

    }

    }
