Menu Bar disappears on new window 2

joegz · Feb 4, 2002

I should know the answer to this but my brain is fried already (and it is only Monday). So if you have run across this in IE5 or know why the behavior is this way I would appreciate the information.

When you have a link from one web site that calls for instance a Word document a new IE window opens with Word document displayed. However the menu bar (FILE, EDIT, VIEW...) is missing from the new window. Instead the toolbar displayed starts with the standard toolbar (BACK, FORWARD, STOP,...). I think it may have something to do with how the HTML code calls the window but I am not sure.

Cheers

Hi,

Try this:

<html>
<head>
<title>window</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function openHelp()
{
window.wind= window.open("cher.doc","HELP","alwaysRaised=yes,width=800,height=600,status=no,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no&quot

;
window.wind.moveTo(0,0);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript

penHelp();">click this to open</a>
</body>
</html>

Best Regards and Thank you!
