I have been working on this idea... but internet explorer won't let it go smoothly.......

I want to be able to open up a html file, allow IT to open up a new window w/o the controls (etc.) and to be stretched past the screens resoltution..... and then close the window that spawned it...

I can do that now, but IE gives me the old "this program is trying to close this window... do you really want to?" speech, which I do not want and would like to know how to disable or bypass. I haven't actually tried this out on Netscape or any others... but I would Imagine they would do the same.....

Another exceptable option is to open the html and it would already have the controls and size done. have no clue how to do that one.... For all I know... it's easier than my first idea... hehehe X-)

It makes no difference.. I wouldn't mind imput either way actually. More I see... More I learn, right?

Herez what I started with....

____________________________________________________________

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function open_archive() {
start_program = window.open('start.html','start1','menubar=0,toolbar=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=110%,height=110%');
}
-->
</script>
<body onload=&quot;open_archive(); window.close();&quot;>

____________________________________________________________

& I do know that the body tag won't work just yet... but I was just fooling around........


Thanx and happy travels to those who can help....

The message &quot;this program is trying to close this window... do you really want to?&quot; is a security message. This message will not appear is you try to close a window which you have opened yourself. So in short, you can't really close ALL browser windows without this message appearing.

So how about making the first page open with the all the controls off and the screen stretched...? Any Ideas?

is this what you are looking for?

window.open(&quot;maxWindow&quot;,&quot;_url_&quot;,&quot;fullscreen&quot;);

that will open a window with just a title bar, the full screen size theEclipse

I am trying to open a window that does not have the (x) in the upper right corner. This is for use on an intranet, and it is imperative that people use the log-off button, rather than just closing out. Do you know how to accomplish this?
