Window with no browser functions

[eewald]

Can I open a new window and disable everything except the window. ie. no file options,url address space, back buttons etc. Just a window.

yep, here is a link to one, but please note, this will not work in Windows XP SP1.

Awesome. THanks!

I can open it in and navigate in Windows XP SP1.. is there a specific bug that makes it unusable?

hi eewald...

is there a reason why you don't just want to use

window.open("YourPage.htm","newWin,"status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no, scrollbars=no");

(this works in all browsers/OS... no?)
:confused: k

Not sure, that's just what the site said. Here is another one

Khaki.. that works.. I was looking to hide the ie browser though. Those both work.. thanks for the help!

oh... (lol) I thought that you were saying

I thought that you meant ie as in "in other words" (lol).

But... now I'm curious... does adding titlebar=0 do that (I can't test it, because I only have a buggy version of IE5.0 that throws errors on all javascript pages).

By the way... the scripts that jrthor2 reference do not produce fully chromeless pages in Netscape (I assume that you are excluding Netscape users as possible visitors... but I thought that I'd just mention it for anyone else who may be thinking of using this script in a cross-browser environment).

I didn't think you could do a "cmopletely" chromeles window in Netscape. If so, cool.
