create an "OK" button to close a browser.

[soonkhoo]

Hi all, anyone knows how to create a button "OK" to close the browser just like the alert message in Javascript? That means, the browser is opened and the user couldn't click on anywhere else except to press the OK button. Thanks.

hello

to close the browser, you do this:
<input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;window.close()&quot;>

You'll still be able to close the child window with the &quot;X&quot; icon in the top left of the window.

Is there a way that these icons and the whole top bar can be removed as you open the window? It is not listed as an attribute of the open() method, but has anybody developed a work-around?

not without being a trusted application. this is a security restriction. One alternative is to create a DHTML window. jared@aauser.com

ok a lied... in IE there is a workaround. if you size the new window to fullscreen ( i think its fullscreen=yes or something ) you can sue setsize to shrink it back to whatever size you want. this removes all the browser chrome.

yeah, I agree with AndyB21. How do we remove the whole top bar. Anyway, thanks guys, but the problem really lies on how to create this child window in such away that the user couldn't proceed clicking anywhere else except for the OK button. Just like the alert messages.

there is ( for IE only ) a method called

window.showModalDialog()

find more about it here:

it makes a new window act a lot like an alert box...but like I said earlier for IE you cna kill the browser chrome jared@aauser.com
