I know how to open a new window with no navigation buttons but the blue bar at the top that says "Microsoft Internet Explorer" spoils the aesthetics and really does my head in. How do I open a window with nothing around the edges except the grey border?

Thanks! [sig][/sig]
 
I don't think that's possible, except perhaps if you use Java or ActiveX, but even then I'm not sure. [sig][/sig]
 
i think this should do what you want

<a href=&quot;yourpagehere.htm&quot; ONCLICK=&quot;window.open('yourpagehere.htm', 'NewWindow', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,fullscreen=yes')&quot;>Click Here [sig]<p>Peter Heaton<br><a href=mailto:heaton@characterlink.net>heaton@characterlink.net</a><br><a href= it how ever you want</a><br> [/sig]
 
I've yet to try it, but thank you for your quick response. [sig][/sig]
 
IE5 also put in a feature, if you have the user hit F11, it does the same thing, although not programmically

Well...yes, this will simply open the window in IE's special fullscreen mode, but I don't think that's what the question was about, and it doesn't work for Netscape. [sig][/sig]
 
also in the <body> of the window your opening make sure you specify No Scrolling(unless you want the user to be able to scroll) - this gets rid of the scroll bars on the side, at least in IE.

here's the example

<body scroll=&quot;no&quot;> [sig]<p>Peter Heaton<br><a href=mailto:heaton@characterlink.net>heaton@characterlink.net</a><br><a href= it how ever you want</a><br> [/sig]
 
I'm with rycamor on this one - the given code will only get rid of the trimmings within the new window, and not the title bar. [sig][/sig]
 
Is there any way to have the following code that Peter suggested...

<a href=&quot;yourpagehere.htm&quot; ONCLICK=&quot;window.open('yourpagehere.htm', 'NewWindow', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,fullscreen=yes')&quot;>Click Here

Work in the window that's being opened rather than being written in the document that the window's been opened from?

David.
