How can I open the homepage of a website in full size of the window and there is no toolbar, no address bar etc.. no bars at all, just the vertical scrolbar and the close button?

Welcome to the forums.

You can only open a completely fullscreen window in IE; in other browsers there will still be chrome when opened in a fullscreen window (the titlebar and minimize/maximize/close buttons). If you want to create a fullscreen window, try something like this:<input type="button" value="Launch fullscreen window" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com/', '', 'fullscreen=1,scrollbars=1');" />Then, since in IE there is no browser chrome (including titlebar and other buttons as mentioned before), you should include a button or link to close the window for users that don't know about ALT + F4:<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="self.close();" />

Thanks a lot for your quick help, fredmv!

I got it working but can I get rid off the window which are asking "Do you want to close this window?". Can we close a window without pressing any button?

Thanks a lot!

You're quite welcome. You can, by default, only close windows from JavaScript that were created by JavaScript. This is for security reasons (just imagine how annoying it would be if some Website randomly closed your window)? However, you can use alternative methods (http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21563) tp bypass this.

Thanks a lot, fredmv! It really helps.

However, when I click on the Close button, I want to close the current page and also the page that opens the current page by using the code: window.opener.close();
but it does not close the opener window.

How can I get it done? Please help me one more time with this? Thanks!

Have you checked the link I provided? It should be quite easy to close the opener window.

Yes, I have seen that page and use that code to close the page without pressing any button, it is really impressed.

<a href="#" onclick="window.opener=null;parent.close();">Close window.</a>

<object id="closes" style="display: none;" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<param name="Command" value="Close" />
</object>
<a href="#" onclick="closes.Click();">Close window.</a>

However, I cannot close the opener window. My purpose is to close the 2 pages (the current and the opener window at the same time) by clicking a button on the opened page.

Thanks!

Dear fredmv,
I copy exactly the source code to make the page opener.htm and child.html page. But unfortunately, the opener.htm is not closed when I click on Close All.
Is there any problem? Thanks a lot for your very useful help.

You're quite welcome. The above code does work for me, so I'm not sure sure as to why it isn't working correctly for you. What version of IE are you running?

That's rather interesting considering I'm using IE6 and it's working correctly for me. Perhaps it isn't working correctly for you because of this?

Dear fredmv,
I tried with IE 6.0 but unfortunately it also does not work. I can change the properties (backgroud color etc) of the opener window but I cannot close it. Is there any other settings in the browser which is causing the problem.

Thanks again!

Dear fredmv,
Do you have any good news about this problem? I have tried this on serveral PCs, IE5 and IE6 but the opener window is not closed.

Thanks

Well, this has been a rather interesting problem but here's what I think. You aren't supposed to close the opener window with JavaScript in the first place. Your IE installations must have the patch installed so that it doesn't work anymore because after all, it should really be considered a bug since JavaScript shouldn't be allowed to do that. Therefore, just accept that the opener window will remain open, it really isn't that big of a deal.

Due to various new security settings in IE (and other browsers; because of phishing attacks), you won't be able to remove the address bar and status bar using JavaScript by default. You can change these settings under Tools > Internet Options > Security, but 99.9% (don't quote me on that) of your visitors are going to have the default settings.
