I recently found this chromeless window, and I wanted to apply this to my website.

But theres a problem that I cant fix. The chromeless window always covers up my whole computer screen.

see my resolution is 1024x768
and the hxw of this chromeless window is 400x200
and it still fills up the whole screen.

Thanks in advance.
 
haha, that's the craziest code I've ever seen in my life...
try this...
function fncopen();
{
window.open("URL of new window", "name of new window". "status=no, "scrollbars=no, toolbars=no, height=200, width=400, history=no, menubar=no")
}

and then just make a new html file for the new window.

Later,

this is correct. "chromeless" windows were a bug in IE5-6 that allowed fullscreen windows to be resized. IE6SP1 fixed this bug.

i have internet explorer 6 pack 1 but i still have the problem, and the code above doesnt work.

 
copynpaste, the way it functions now - the window taking up the whole screen - is correct.

you are not allowed to change the height or width of a fullscreen window in IE as of IE6SP1.

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

It was possible before, when I had another version of iE. I think it was Ie5.5.
I'm not sure what happened, or maybe the js coding?
 
here it is one more time:

it was a BUG, IE 5 allowed the bug. ie6sp1 FIXED the BUG, now it is working as it should.
