Do you mean something like a chromeless window ???

Sorry, No can do in Javascript. Browser surrounds are something you just have to live with.

The best you can do is get rid of most of the chrome...

window.open(url,
'', 'scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=no');

I don't know if it works with other browsers but, if you are using IE, you can use:
window.createPopup
this creates a completely chromeless window that you can do lots of useful things with like message boxes, drop-down menus etc.

Is this popup window going to remain open when others are shut?

Actually, you can do a "totally embossed" window.
let me go get the script:rolleyes:

Sorry that took so long ;)
Here is the code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function Open()
{
var openwin = showModalDialog("URL.html","Name","dialogWidth:130px; dialogHeight:110px" );
}
</script>

<input type="button" value="click" name="click" onclick="Open()">


I dont know why the function needs a cap. letter... but it WON'T WORK without one.

[Mr J]

You should not use the word Open as a function name as this is classed as a reserved word.

Use something like open_win() instead.

Also a Modal window is only like a standard window except the bond between itself and the parent window, not really frameless.

A frameless window is basically a Fullscreen window that is resized with lots of javascript and CSS to make it functional

The following script shows the basic idea




<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var Width=200 // window width
var Height=200 // window height
var Left = (screen.width/2)-(Width/2) // center
var Top = (screen.height/2)-(Height/2) // center
var Autoclose = true

function openFrameless(url){
FrameLess = window.open(url,"noframewin","fullscreen")
FrameLess.document.body.style.overflow="auto" // auto scrollbars
FrameLess.resizeTo(Width,Height) // resize
FrameLess.moveTo(Left,Top) // position
FrameLess.focus()

if (Autoclose){
window.onunload = function(){
FrameLess.close()
}
}
}
// -->
</script>



<a href="#null" onclick="openFrameless('YOURPAGE.htm')">Open Frameless</a>
