Removing IE menu bar and toolbar in html or java ?
- Thread starter godzuki
- Start date
There is no way of removing browser components for the active window. However, you can through Javascript open a new window without menus and toolbars:
For more options, check this page.
Code:
<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com"[/URL] target="_blank" title="That search engine" onclick="window.open(this.href,'blank','width=200,height=100,menubar=no,toolbar=no');">Google</a>- Thread starter

Just like Vragabond says -no way to remove them from current window.
Have a look at this code:
It will open "itself" in a new 640 by 480 window w/o menu and toolbars. The only "problem" is that it is asking the user if he/she wants to close the parent window.

Have a look at this code:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]

function mySite() {
if ((window.name == null) || (window.name == "")) {
window.open(window.location.href,'myWindow','width=640,height=480,menubar=no,toolbar=no');
window.close();
}
}
</script>

<body onload="mySite()">

As an alternative approach, Internet Explorer is an automation object and, depending on the language used, it's relatively simple to create an instance of IE and control the object through code.
You can instantiate it without menu bar, toolbar, statusbar etc, and hide/show them as required. The History, Search, Favorites and Channels bars can also be controlled the same way.
The minus is that you would need something like a VB, Delphi, or some other application to control the IE object - the plus is that you would undoubtedly achieve what you are seeking.

That's the drawback.godzuki said:
On the other hand, the third party app can have complete control over IE, not only its interface, size, position etc, but even down to providing lists of URLs that the user may visit.
