Change Window Status

[BML]

HI,

I have two HTML pages, in the first page I call the second that have to appear in the same window, like this:

 window.open("home.html", "_self", "status=no");

the third parameter (status=no), is to disable the status bar from the browser (IE 4.0), but that doesn't work...

why ???

is there a way to disable all the things in the window ???

if I open the second page on another window:

 window.open("home.html", null, "status=no");

it work's fine...but I want the same window...!!! regards,

You cannot change the features like status bar and toolbar of already opened window.

Not even with IE5 ?

This can be done using JavaScript. We have a dynamic resize setting for popup windows on our csFiler script (see demo on site, url in sig).

In the window there is a height/width setting for a text area within the window. Using simply math we recalculate the window size to be slightly larger than the text area.

SInce we are able to resize the window of an already existing browser instance I am sure you could toggle the visibility of the status bar.

I suggest posting the question in the JavaScript forum.

Here is a sample of the JavaScript code we use to dynamically resize the window:

ChangeSize();

function ChangeSize(){

var cols = document.form1.cols.value;
var rows = document.form1.rows.value;

var maxr = ((screen.availHeight-200)/75)*5;
var maxc = ((((screen.availWidth-200)/100)*15))/1.1;

if(rows > maxr){
rows=maxr;
}
if(cols > maxc){
cols=maxc;
}

document.form1.text.cols=cols;
document.form1.text.rows=rows;

var resizex= (100 * (document.form1.cols.value/15))+200 + (document.form1.cols.value*.75);
var resizey= (75 * (document.form1.rows.value/5))+260;

if(resizex > screen.availWidth){
resizex = screen.availWidth;
}
if(resizey > screen.availHeight){
resizey = screen.availHeight;
}

window.resizeTo(resizex,resizey);
var l = (screen.availWidth/2) - (resizex/2);
var t = (screen.availHeight/2) - (resizey/2);
window.moveTo(l,t);
