Hiding scrollbars & Menubars (not popup window) 1

MadJock · Aug 27, 2004

Hi,

Does anyone know how to hide scrollbar, locationbar etc in Javascript?

Basically I want to achieve the affect of

Code:

window.open(url,'name','toolbar=no,width='+screen.width-10+',height='+screen.height-30+',directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resize=no,top=0,left=0);

But define the settings on the page being called - not on the link to open it.

Non-working example of what I'm looking for:

Code:

<head>
  <script language = "JavaScript">
    function setupWin() {
      window.scrollbars = false;
      window.locationbar = false;
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body onLoad="JavaScript:setupWin()">
 '
 '
 '
</body>

Thanks in advance

Once a window is open, there is no way you can remove these features.

Hope this helps,

However, one possibility would be to have the page-being-opened open itself in a new window with the window-open parameters you want, and then either close the parent (original) window or (more user friendly), send the parent window back one in its history.

Good luck.
