Turn off browser toolbar and menu

[SpiderBear6]

Does anyone know how to turn off the toolbar and menu bar for ie from within a page..? I have tried the following but IE doesn't know what Explorer means...

Sub window_onLoad()
dim exp
set exp=Explorer
exp.fullscreen=true
End Sub
Sub window_onUnload()
dim exp
set exp=Explorer
exp.fullscreen=false
end sub

Cheers all.

try this: <meta http-equiv=&quot;imagetoolbar&quot; content=&quot;no&quot; />

That's the image toolbar not the Explorer toolbar but thanks for replying DeCojute.

[tt]Oops, misread your post.

Are you trying to have a link which when clicked will dis-able the toolbar? or are you looking to have link display a borderless window??

I am trying to display a window with a toolbar or menu but I want the page to make the window that way not a page that may open in (as in window.open) because this is the first page.

If I understand you correctly, you cannot do this, at least not without a signed ActiveX Control or a signed script. It's a security issue. Even with a signed application, I'm uncertain to what extent you are allowed to manage the appearance of someones browser.

I often like to do what you are asking, but I do so by rethinking the whole approach at how a person enters the site or individual page. Then I use the standard window.open method to acheive my desired results. If well thought out, it often provides a nicer affect than what I originally intended. Doc Javascript has several tutorials on modal and modeless windows that you might find useful (if you're not already familiar with them)

I would just window.open but it's for a local app and I want to start the whole thing without a border.

Thanks for all your help guys but I think I will have to find another way around.

Cheers.
