Chromeless popup window 2

[rhowes]

Hi

I have been trying unsuccessfully to create a chromeless popup. MSDN says it's possible from an hta (browser trusted application) however I was on

http://www.coffeecup.com

and they managed to generate a chromeless popup.

Anyone know how to do this?

Also, does anyone know how to prevent users from closing the browser. Microsoft manages to do this if you use 'Windows Update' in your browser to update your system - you cannot close the browser once you have started an update.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Richard

"chromeless"...

explain?

i went to coffeecup.com...didn't see anything out of the ordinary...

or is this a cheap plug for the site?

as for the closing browser window...onunload= or onbeforeunload= ...

or do you mean disabling the X in the top right?

Hi

No, this is not a plug for coffeecup ;-)

If you go to Coffeecup and try and download an app the popup appears. By chromeless I mean it has no titlebar, no window border, no minimise/maximise/close buttons (i.e. it looks like an image not a window.

If you still don't see it I'd be happy to email you a screenshot privately. I would really like to be able to achieve this effect!

Cheers

Hi,

It is known as a chromless window, the same effect can be done by opening IE in kiosk mode.

It can also be done in javascript, goto the web address below and read all!

I didn't see any popups but you could try doing it with layers. At least that's cross-browser compatable.

Hi,

The coffecup popup can be found by going to this page:

http://www.coffeecup.com/download/shareware.cgi?021

This opens the "chromeless" popup, its not done in layers, but as kiosk mode in IE, see my above posting for the website on how its done

Hi,

Why use a piece of software which normally costs you money and produces normally excess code when you can do it via hand creating a neater and more customize code? (Apart from its probereley easier)

On that note, I don't know of any software which will do it for you for free. I believe there is one but they charge a fortune.

dhup?

this chromeless window works in
NN, IE, and NN6.
BTW, you can check the source-code, download the external .js-file and have a look at the customizing options. IMHO, it's a nice "How To"-Chromless.

with me the resizeTo does not seem to work: the windows always cover the whole screen (also in the examples on the two sites mentionned above).
Any idea why this is?

Greetz,
