SIMPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT WINDOWS

[alexfusion]

Hello Everyone,
This is the first time I enter to this Javascript Forum.I'm not an expert Javascripter,so these question seem basic to you,the experts:
1-I have a main page.I don't want to open another window,just I would like that the main page appears in the way I like,I mean with no scroolbars,no toolbars,etc.
How can I do this?
2-I have a form page and a result page.How can I pass the form variables to the result page so I can use "document.write" to show, for instance"Thank you (here goes visitor name or whatever" for sending your comments).I did this using ASP or CF or PHP,but I would like to use Javascript,to show the messages and not a server side language.
I hope this is clear enough.

Any help welcome !

Many Thanks

I think you've asked two very good questions.

1. I'm not sure if there's a direct way of doing this. But what you can do is to open up a new browser without toolbar etc and close down the previous browser.

location=whateverhtmfile;
myWin=open(location,'anewwin','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=yes,personaltoolbar=yes');
t=window.close();

2. You can do this at least two ways.

function confirmmessage() {
var ms = document.formname.details.value;
w = window.open(", ", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no');
w.document.write("Thanks you Mr "+ms+"blah,blah,..."
}

<form name=formname>
<textarea name=details cols=35 rows=8>
</textarea>
<br>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;send&quot; onClick=confrimmessage();>
</form>

Also, you can use JavaScript to read the form values on the URL like other server-side language, Perl, ASP, CF, etc.
I just can't remember where I've read an example of that. If anyone know, please let me know.

hi
i either haven't heard of removing something from the current window (but i guess there is something in netScrap with location.visibility or something, but you have to mess with security for this porposes - meaning confirms with user.. ugly-ugly..)

about the second -

<form .. method=&quot;get&quot; action=&quot;other.html&quot;>
..
</form>

& in the result page you have to work with location.search (yeah, just almost like on Server Side)

take a look at the example:
