window.open...but without the open

[jfrost10]

Hey guys,

I'd like to show my page with no toolbar, menubar, addressbar. I know that you can do it with window.open, but I don't want to have to "open" a new browser window to do it. I'd rather do a response.redirect from my login page to the main frames page, and NOOMDEPLUME (thats a magic word i picked up from a Microsoft tech-ed session...don't ask...its been a long week) the tool/menu/address bar would be gone.

All the examples i've seen use windows scripting to create the IE instance and do it from there, but thats not an option. Anyone have any tips on how this could be done?

thanks

D

what you are talking about is like a tool window... (that's what they where called back then...)
I would just go with the windows.open... have you tried opening a window like that and then hiding it, and from the main page redirect to it ??? (boy that sounds confusing) ???

window.open isn't an option, because we don't want a whole bunch of orphaned parent windows out there (login once, and you're done with it).

And we don't want to bother the users with "the system is trying to close a parent window, do you want to blah blah blah" every time we try to close the first one.

*sigh* for once I wish IE had followed Netscapes lead
