Removing the browser chrome in self.

I have a software ap that opens a browser window. My client wants the newly opened window to NOT show the website address, or any of the chrome of the browser (address bar, toolbars, menubars, etc).

How can I get my main window to remove its own chrome?

I know that I can open a new window to do something like this, but opening two windows to do this won't look right from the app, and the app is unable to use standard javascript to call the window opening and give it parameters, so this must all be accomplished from the initial window.

sounds like a porn site to me.

You can do fully chrome windows in IE by creating a huge popup and moving the bars off the screen with window.moveto(-200,-200) but fortunately Mozilla based browsers will not allow you do this, the title bar will always remain
mean  window.moveTo

that IE only and chromeless windows can be made in  IE by makng the window too big for the screen  anyway        
yes, for this reason I called the script IE.VBS.

I belive, that PaulKahl's APP is only for windows and it will work 99.9% =)

There are several methods described, and I'm not sure which one my supervisor will determine is appropriate to our target audience. Therefor, I've used the split option.
