Kiosk Mode

Hi I've previously asked a very simular question, but I have been working on this for two day and can't seem to get it working again. So I need some help. Can anyone take a look at the code I have include and determine why when I click on the link "Open RDE in Kiosk mode" it will open the page but not in kiosk mode. I don't want toolbars, or menubars showing.

cmcoadmin:

Quotes around all the options? I.E. "toolbar=NO", "scrollbar=NO", "resizable=YES"

I think I've had that problem before

it should be window.open NOT Window.Open. javascript is case sensitive.

                       
                                <script language="javascript">
                <!--
                function WinOpen(){
                        window.open("http://10.50.240.17/maa/rde/fs.aspx","","toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=yes,width=800,height=600");
}
</script>

BTW: Keep this statement:
window.open("http://10.50.240.17/maa/rde/fs.aspx","","toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=yes,width=800,height=600");
}

in a single line.

Okay I corrected my typos with window.open and I put everything on a single line and it worked. Expect for one thing. It opens my page in Kiosk mode but it also open it in another window with the toolbars. I can't figure out why it's opening twice. I attached my code.

<head>
<script language="javascript">
                <!--
                function WinOpen(){
                        window.open("http://10.50.240.17/MidasWeb/midas_nt/MAA/RDE/fs.aspx","","toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=yes,width=800,height=600");

Update your link to this:

                       
                                <a href="#" onClick="WinOpen(); return false;">Open RDE in Kiosk mode.</a>

Okay! That worked great, thanks. There's just one more thing, is it possible to have it where the window that displays the link will close when the linked page opens?

Laballa1, please post another problem. We have solved your original problem. As per the user agreement, one question per post.

05.09.2008 at 07:56AM PDT, ID: 21533479

Laballa1:

This is not another problem this is the same original problem. I'm ASKING if it possible once the Kiosk window opens does the link window suppose to go away that is still part of the original problem. It's not complete until it's working properly. I believe the user agreement states that we can be satisfied with the outcome before we award points. I'm not completely satafied until I understand how the link functions. I want to learn what I'm doing not just get code and award points. Is that asking too much?

Your problem description says:
'Can anyone take a look at the code I have include and determine why when I click on the link "Open RDE in Kiosk mode" it will open the page but not in kiosk mode'

THAT problem has been solved. You uncovered a new issue after you got the solution to your original posted problem.

05.09.2008 at 11:54AM PDT, ID: 21535535

Laballa1:

NO I didn't uncover a new issue after I got the solution to my original posted problem. If you had read the original post correctly you would have realized that I said "It opens my page in Kiosk mode but it also opens in another window with the toolbars. I can't figure out why it's opening twice. " ALSO OPEN IT IN ANOTHER WINDOW WITH THE TOOLBARS. Looks to me like part of the original post. And I'm ASKING AGAIN how can I get rid of it or you. If you don't want to answer the question don't and stop responding and don't say anything. I wasn't specifically asking you anyway, I was asking someone who knows and is willing to say.

05.09.2008 at 10:57PM PDT, ID: 21537995

robacarp:

You might or might not be able to accomplish this. The problem with closing the parent window is that, unless it too was opened by a webpage script, the user will get a confirmation box. Usually it something along the lines of "the webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close the window?"

In any case, whether or not it is part of the original question, the code to close a window is:
window.close();

and you can insert that into the link command before the return statement.
