Running into a window

[omegabeta]

I have an application that is spreading over all display(and have no minimize button).
How can I lunch it using a link for example from a html page to run it into a window ?

Thanks in advance.

It has no minimise button?! Huh?

When you said "application" are you talking about an HTML web site, or are you actually referring to a computer program that you are running locally from your hard disk?

If you mean a program that you are running locally on your hard disk, then I would point you to the topic of the forum... HTML, XHTML and CSS.

If you have managed to find a web site that "doesn't have a minimise button" on the window, then I for one would love to see the code!

When IE is running in full-screen mode, does it have any of the minimize/maximize/close buttons?

It's about a program that I'm running locally on my hard disk. My intention is to lunch many programs using links placed on html pages. I thought that it could be a possibility to run that program into a window for a easily managing.
Maybe someone can tell me if is that possible.

Thanks.

No. Not using HTML, XHTML or CSS.

To BabyJeffy

Give me an advice. How can I use CSS to manage the problem ?

Thanks.

Maybe you didn't understand Jeff's reply... Unfortunately, I cannot say the word "No" in any less syllables than he did ;o(

AFAIK, you cannot launch (or lunch, for that matter) standalone applications (i.e. EXEcutable files) using a web browser in either full-screen mode, or a window, while still keeping it cross-browser or cross-platform.

You might possibly be able to use an ActiveX control to do the job in IE only, but you'd need to do more research on this (not sure if the FileSystemObject allows execution, and unsure about the WSH methods availble).

Hope this helps,
Dan

What operating system do you use? You may be looking for a skin instead of a webpage. Skins can have html style "links" to run programs, infact theyre just icons with a single click link. But just to reenfoce BabyJeff and BillyRayPreachersSon, you cant deal with executable files through html, xhtml or css. even javascript and php are strict about it.

Its for your own security!
