Controlling the IE window

[benski]

How do you control things like which toolbars and menu bars are visible.

I've seen web-pages that hide everything except the title bar.

Hi benski

to do what you ask you need to open it with javascript using the window.open . unfortunatley there is no way of changing the look apart from this and you have to open a new window . To get a list of all the things you can change check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/A...ods/open_0.asp

hope this helps

Nice one, thanks.

I see what you mean -- it is rather limited isn't it?

I would agree that it's limited, but it benefits the user more than it does the developers, I've heard also people asking questions to change some aspect of the system from the browser,like running an exe without prompt, or changing theme, or changing mousecursor, if our browsers could do whatever an HTML(plain HTML) developer wanted, I'd be scared, as it wouldnt be secure to browse a site, and all the sudden they screw with my mouse, or make all my titlebars gone, and so forth, hehe. As Much as I'd like to see some features, those featueres could be used for the worse.

But hey happy scripting (oh also using DHTML you may be able to alter the window without opening a new one, I dont have the details tho)
