What is the smallest size pop up window you can have

[dognobbler]

I am trying to create a 1 by 1 pixel pup up window, however the smallest I seem to be able to get the window is about 100 * 100. The reason for this seems to be because of the window minimize, maximize and close buttons.

So my question is - is is possible to get rid of the bar containing the window minimize, maxmize and close buttons.

Or is there any other way to create a pop up window that is 1 by 1 pixel.

Thanks for your help

I believe the minimum size is browser-dependant, and in most cases, the minimum size is nothing to do with the buttons, but more a security issue. Basically, having a 1x1 popup could be a big security risk, as you could have a "hidden" popup doing all sorts of things.

I'd try and rework your code to use iframes instead.

Hope this helps,

I know that there is way to do this because I have actually seen tiny pop up windows which do not have the minimize, maximize and close buttons.

Does anyone know how to open a window without those buttons?

If you've seen them, then why not visit the sites that you've seen them popped-up by, and view the source to see how it's done? And then you can post it here, as I'd be interested in seeing it, too.

I still don't believe it can be achieved equally in all browsers.

According to MSDN, minimal dimensions for window.open() are 100x100. Once opened, window can be resized to smaller size.

Wanna remove min/max/close buttons, this requires HTA stuff for IE, probably special security settings for other browsers.
