Greetings everyone... i've been trying to figure out how to get rid of the status bar when someone visits my website. if someone could help me that would be great :) thank you very much
 
I think you would need to open a new window in order to do hide the status bar using:

window.open(url,'name','toolbar=no,width='+w+',height='+h+',directories=no,status=yes,scrollbars=no,resize=no,menubar=no,top='+yPos+',left='+xPos);

w,h,xpos,ypos are preset after checking screen size etc.

ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI
 
Hi... thank you for the help...


that's my website if you would like to check it out. umm, now what i get is the box opening in the middle and not full screen. i would like it to open fully... how exactly would i do that?
 
Actually i'm having a little problem trying to make this work. do you think you could assit me on putting the code in action :) thank you very much

try this, it set window size according to the screen size.

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);

 
hi, ok i'm still not sure how the whole tag would go. would it look like this

<a href= &quot;x&quot; window.open(x2.html,'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);></a>

You really should use the window.open(); inside a
function. And then call the function.

function nwwin() {
......
}

to call the function use the onClick event

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:nwwin();&quot;>New Window</a>

There are some good FAQ's on the subject:




Here is a working example in the FAQ's:

I move the window.open to a function to make it easier to read:

Code:
<script laugnage=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function openMain() {
   window.open('x2.html','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');
}
</script>

then in the link you put somehting like.

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;openMain()&quot;>Enter</a>
 
to do that you'd have to open it up in another window. You can't make the status bar disapear on a normal broswer window. Now if you open it up in another window with no status bar present then its all good. Heres a source code i just pasted in a different subject but it will work for you. Just adjust the window size unless full screen works for you.



<!-- TWO STEPS TO INSTALL FULLSCREEN WINDOW:

1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document
2. Add the last code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

<!-- Begin
function openFullscreen(page) {
var yes = 1;
var no = 0;

var menubar = no; // The File, Edit, View Menus
var scrollbars = no; // Horizontal and vertical scrollbars
var locationbar = no; // The location box with the site URL
var directories = no; // the &quot;What's New&quot;, &quot;What Cool&quot; links
var resizable = no; // Can the window be resized?
var statusbar = no; // Status bar (with &quot;Document: Done&quot;)
var toolbar = no; // Back, Forward, Home, Stop toolbar

windowprops = &quot;width=&quot; + (screen.width-10) + &quot;,height=&quot; + (screen.height-50) + &quot;,top=0,left=0&quot;;

windowprops += (menubar ? &quot;,menubars&quot; : &quot;&quot;) +
(scrollbars ? &quot;,scrollbars&quot; : &quot;&quot;) +
(locationbar ? &quot;,location&quot; : &quot;&quot;) +
(directories ? &quot;,directories&quot; : &quot;&quot;) +
(resizable ? &quot;,resizable&quot; : &quot;&quot;) +
(statusbar ? &quot;,status&quot; : &quot;&quot;) +
(toolbar ? &quot;,toolbar&quot; : &quot;&quot;);

window.open(page, 'fullPopup', windowprops);
}
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>

<!-- STEP TWO: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->

<BODY>

<center>
<form>
<input type=button value=&quot;Open Fullscreen Page&quot; onClick=&quot;openFullscreen(' </form>
</center>
