Onload change of main window attributes

[oldnewbie]

Search seems out of commission! So sorry if this has been answered a thousand times!
I have manage to change the size, the window's title, reposition it... But can't seem to find a way to change other attributes of a main window called through a link.
Is there some way, onload, to remove such things as the menubar, location... & the sort without having to open a popup with those characteristics, or changing the main window from such a popup?

Thanks for your help!

I belive that once the document has been drawn, you can't change it unless you include a refresh, and even then I'm not sure if this is possible. What is your intended goal here?

DB,
That's exactly it: I'm trying to remove the toolbar before that window is drawn!
No bad intentions... Just looking to detect the user's resolution, browser and open a fullscreen window accordingly in the same operation, rather than to have a detector page and open a popup afterwards.
I'm aware of the problems that might cause, but seems to me that if I can change the title, the size and position of this window before it's drawn, I could also remove stuff like the toolbar.
BTW, search as turn up no more of a positive answer, but the possible use of an hta or signed script!
Too complicated for me! Unless someone comes up with another solution... Guess I'll stick with my popup!

Thanks.

oldNewbie,

Let me try and understand what it is that you're telling me. You want to capture the resolution of the monitor that your users are viewing your site with?

If I'm not mistaken, I think that there's a much better way of accomplishing what it is that you want to accomplish.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm willing to bet that you have a page that has a graphic on it that looks pretty awesome... at 600 x 800. You want it to look good on a much higher resolution as well, right?

What is the url of the site so that I can take a look at it?

No! You're wrong!
I have a script that detects the user's resolution, and I just re-direct him to the right page, based on his resolution. As I said, all I am looking for is to save one step in this whole operation!
The user clicks the link... This one page detects his resolution and opens up at his resolution!
Simple! One click!

oldNewbie,

You can accomplish this by burying all of your code in a function that is called by either an onClick() function or an onUnload() function.

DB,
I'm old and far from being an expert in java... Could you be a little more specific... And post a template code?

Thanks.

hi oldnewbie, let me make it clear 2 u:
i THINK there is no way of doin just what u want with javascript (i mean remove menubar, address bar, etc) as far as i messed with it u can remove scrollbars plus 2 what u was sayin
i'm afraid that u r 2 open NEW window, & then u can do anything u want with it & ur old window wuld be just for resolution check.. does it matches with ur demands?

but may be u can do it thru vbscript? i dont kno vbscript much, but i heard that its pretty powerfull 2 this kinda stuff. ofcourse, if u work under ie only.. regards, vic
