Remove close button from a new window

[bcdeveloper]

I am in the process of introducing a new payroll system that incorporates a web based time system. The problem is that if the user closes the window without logging off it darn near crashes the system.

I can't edit the code for the time keeping program. But I can create the link that goes to the program.

I need a script to open a new window that does not have a close button in the upper right corner. That will help to force people to log off correctly.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

I am unsure of how your new payroll system works, but to remove the X button, make the browser window open in kiosk mode.

If your using IE, then just put in the shorcut:

"iexplore -k url", url being the website you want IE to open. It can also be called from a javascript command.

I don't know if its possible with anyother browser then IE.5.0+

Hi,

Ok,

To start IE in Kiosk mode, do the following:

Click the Start button and select Run.
Type "iexplore -k url", url being the website you want IE to open.

To get it work in javascript, goto the following page:

To start IE in Kiosk mode, do the following:

This tells you how to open up a "splash" window, which is in effect, kiosk mode

Also in IE 5, you can use the fullscreen attribute of a new window

open("url","name","fullscreen")

After opening it, you can resize it to the size you want.

I would like to include the standard toolbar and navigation
toolbar while eliminating the title bar (min,max,close) CAn you provide any guidance on this?

THank you for your help.
