Is there a way to open Dream weaver site without the Internet Explorer interface. I have developed a CBT and would like it to fill the entire screen without the toolbars at the top.

Surely you could do it with JavaScript?
Head :
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=1024,height=780,left = 35,top = 35');"
;
}
// End -->
Change the width and height to fit...
then use
<a href="javascriptopUp('#URLHERE')">
to open the page...
that should open without the toolbar e.t.c.
hope that helps,
J

Do you want this? (check the link, the links on the page are not working, if you get stuck with the screen press ALT+F4)
If you do,
Put this in the head:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function popit(theURL,winName,features) {
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>
and this in the body tag:
onLoad="popit('your_page.htm','','fullscreen=yes,titlebar=0,toolbar=false,scrollbars=no,width=790,height=570,screenX=0,screenY=0')"
This will open a new window without the frame (for 800x600 resolution) you can change the values for other resolutions.
Hope it'll help ;-) Have Fun...

I don't want to argue with you but you're off on this one, it's far from being the same thing.
First it's positioned to the right place
Second it's fullscreen
Third it's really frameless (or borderless whatever it's called)
If you're sceptic at least take a look at it:
you'll see i'm not wrong (or i'm right) ;-)
Don't worry i'm not mad, i do make mistakes myself.
Darren, you're a riot starter LOL Have Fun...

Thanks very much for your advice.
This site is wonderful for beginners.
However, I am having trouble getting it to work. I have entered the code suggested by Sharky99. I'm sure it is probably the way I am entering the code. Since I am not a programmer it is very easy for me to make mistakes. Could you give me a little guidance as the the exact placement of the lines, especially the part that goes into the body. Is the body part in html or Java? Sometimes when I enter it it shows up in my document. Help!

Follow Sherky99's code, it is just what you are after. Put this code just before the
tag in your html:
Then, where you can see the body tag "
" the second part of the code needs to be put within the. So the body tag will look like this:
Then you can adjust the values of the width, height, x and y to suit your needs. Remeber to put a close button on the page though, or someone will email a brick through your mailbox!

Like I said in my earlier post, opening the file in full screen worked great except one little problem. For some reason it opens multiple copies of the same file. So many open that they fill up the bar at the bottom. Depending on which computer you open it in it could be hundreds. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean. What are you referring to when you say splash page. Excuse my ignorance. I am new to this world.
You need your first page to call your second page that
you want to open "fullscreen". when you enter the site
the first page is recognized as index.html. In your index
page you have your code to open your page fullscreen. You
need to refer to another page like index2.html or what
ever you want. If in your index.html page you try to call
your index.html page you will just loop and open windows.
Lot of windows.
