The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hide title bar or URL in Javascript window.open

Asked by alexisbr in JavaScript, Miscellaneous Web Development

Tags: , , , ,

I wrote some pages in asp for a client.  Their partner is going to link to a page on this site (that also links to one other page).  We need to hide the URL so it is not apparent to a web user that the url has changed.  I don't think it matters if the user wants to poke around and actually sees the URL but we don't want to make it obvious.

I've reviewed many posts on EE and found some great solutions but none of them are actually hiding the the title bar.  Here's the solution I liked the best and tried to implement.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
 function openWindowNew( windowURL, windowName) {    windowFeatures='width=518,height=500,toolbar=0,location=0,screenx=0,screeny=0,directories=0,status=0,menuBar=0,scrollBars=yes,left=0,top=0,resizable=0'
          return window.open( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures ) ;
     }
//--->
</script>
On the partner's webpage:
  <a href="JavaScript: newWindow = openWindowNew('http://www.myclientURL.com/mypage.asp', 'Mywindowname'); newWindow.focus()">My Link Text </a>

The link works but I still see the URL of my client's site because the title bar is not hidden.  For example, let's say my client's stie is www.myclientURL.com and the page we want to bring up is mypage.asp.  From the partner's site, when I put the code I described above, the page opens great but in the title bar, I see "http://www.myclientURL.com" then what's between <title></title> on the page we're linking to.  However, when I open that page directly (http://www.myclientURL.com/mypage.asp in address bar) from IE, I only see what's between the title tags.  I have tried setting fullscreen=yes and still the same result.  Obviously, I've faked the URLs for this example but what I've described is exactly what's happening.  I see "http://www.myclientURL.com   MY PAGE TITLE   Microsoft Internet Explorer" using the Window.open but see only "MY PAGE TITLE  Microsoft Internet Explorer" when I go directly to the page.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
