Question

Open Browser with resize and no toolbars

Asked by: Justice75

Hi All,

I have a quick problem.  I have figured out how to open the window by using the load instead of sendAndLoad.  However, whne the window open th epage in the browser, I want the browser to be resized and I dont want the toolbar, locationbar, scrollbar or any of the other bars at the top.  Does anyone know how I would accomplish this.  Thanks for any help.

you could open the window and set the features using the function below or iccorporate the features
in your code

function OpenNewWindow(url,width,height) {
     features = "toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",resizable=yes"
var win = window.open('myasppage.asp','mywin',features);

}

you can set it to the reqd width and height by seeting the value of width and height
//
}

 

by: sajuksPosted on 2004-11-21 at 19:10:45ID: 12641193

In your case it would be something like,
var mywin = window.open('proUP.asp', 'popup', "width=500,height=200,toolbar=no");

For more refnc :http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/win_open.html

//if you dont want any toolbar,scrollbar.then you need to set all features off
var win =  window.open('proUP.asp', 'popup',"toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=200,resizable=yes"
);

Hi Sajuks,

1) I am passing a variable inID to the page that opens in the new window.
2) How do I and where do I add the code above to since I am using load of loadVars?

Justice

 

by: sajuksPosted on 2004-11-21 at 19:56:58ID: 12641359

You're using Flash for coding are you ?Not much experience with it am afraid.
To pass parameter you could use
var win =  window.open('proUP.asp?somevalue=<%=inID%>', 'popup',"toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=200,resizable=yes"

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 20:11:42ID: 12641410

Yes, I am using Flash.

 

by: sajuksPosted on 2004-11-21 at 20:15:25ID: 12641420

I think you need to use the getURl function.Check the below links and see if it helps you

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 20:15:36ID: 12641422

Tell me this though and it's definately worth the points.  Forget the Flash in this instance.  Is there anyway that I do the above in an ASP page to the same page.  In other words when the page loads change the size and take the toolbars etc off?

Also, the code above did not work in Flash.

Thanks,

To open a page in asp with no toolbars,
From the page from where you are opening the 'proUP.asp page you call a javscript function and thats it


<script language ="javascript">
function OpenNewWindow()
{
var win =  window.open('proUP.asp', 'popup',"toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=200,resizable=yes"
);
</script>

<a href = "#" onclick = "OpenNewWindow();return False;">Open Page</a>
or
in the submit of the form (page 1) you could call the function.

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 20:26:16ID: 12641455

This is my page.  Can you help me make sense of this?  I still need to pass the value of inID to the next page.

Just access the hidden field the same way in the next page.I can see from the page that you've a hidden field
Then in the second page you just need the same syntax.

<input type="hidden" name="inID" value"<%=inID%>">

then when this form is submitted you can retrieve this information on your next page by doing -

Dim Field1
Field1 = Request.Form("inID")

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 21:05:33ID: 12641575

This is not working.  When I add these to the head it goes to the next page without passing the values of inID.

<script language ="javascript">

window.open('proUP2.asp', 'popup',"toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=500,resizable=yes")

</script>

 

by: sajuksPosted on 2004-11-21 at 21:34:09ID: 12641625

oops, if you are using window.opne then you need to pass the inid value as an argument to the next page
var win =  window.open('proUP.asp?somevalue=<%=inID%>', 'popup',"toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=200,resizable=yes"

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 21:45:09ID: 12641661

Again,

It is not working.  Also, I dont need to select a link for this code to work.   I need this function to initialize when the page loads.

//A simpler way.Please change as needed.Its a working example and much simpler
<html>
<body>
<form action="survey2.asp" method="post" target="mywin" onsubmit="window.open('','mywin','resizable,height=200,width=200,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');">
First Name<br><input type="text" name="txt" ><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="hidden" name="inID" value = "EE"><br>
<input type="submit"></p>
</form>
</body></html>

//survey2.asp

<html>
<body>
<%
first=request.form("inID")
Response.Write  first
%>


</body></html>

To set the width,height and properties you need to do it from the called page. When the page loads if you set the height and width in essence you are agin reloading the page.
So in brief, from the page(first) where you call the second page in the submit of the form set the parameters for the second page.
And the nyou can reference the hidden fields of the first page in the second using the Request.Form("textfield") variable.

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 22:01:33ID: 12641727

I wont be using a button to submit remember.  The last example worked that you gave alo when I changed the next page from Request.Form to Request.QueryString .  Thhe window opens the way that I like except it has a bar at the top of the browser for instance look at the top of the browser where it says Active Server Pages (ASP): Open Browser with resize and no toolbars - Internet explorer - what is the name of that and how do I get rid of it?

Check http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/win_open.html those are the only possible properties.
If you want to remove that bar you need to've it as window.open('','mywin','fullscreen');But then you can specify the width and height.

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 22:30:59ID: 12641821

Okay cool.  Thanks for everything.  This code also does no t work for Ntescape or any Mozilla Browser!

Justice

 

by: sajuksPosted on 2004-11-21 at 22:41:10ID: 12641848

The difference would be in the height and width, the rest of the properties should work
toolbar=,location,directories,status,menubar,scrollbars.
Which property is not working ?

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 23:16:02ID: 12641941

In Netscape the page opens in a regular browser window.  It's the same one.  Nothing pops up.

 

by: Justice75Posted on 2004-11-21 at 23:16:41ID: 12641942

The page actually stays the same.

 

by: sajuksPosted on 2004-11-21 at 23:30:11ID: 12641967

Are you saying the new page doesnt open ? Might be cos of popup blocker.
Can you post the code that you are currently using? page 1 and page 2 both.

Just a clarification needed,
In page 1 the submit opens  proUP-1.asp . Also with window.open you open proUP2.asp page.
When should the proUP2.asp page open ?Am a bit unclear about that.
And i assume page2.aps = proUP-1.asp ??

Actually proUP.asp is page 1 --> proUp2.asp --> proUp-1.asp

This is really getting messy because the only page that I actually need are

proUp.asp -->proUp-1.asp

The probelm is that I need the first page to resize with no toolbars etc and the only way that I came up to do it is by sending it to another page just like itself which is why you see the code:

window.open('proUP2.asp?inID=<%=inID%>', 'popup',"directories=no,titlebar=no,alwaysRaised=yes,status=no,resizeable=no,scrollbars=no, personalbar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=500,height=200,resizable=no")

proUp2.asp is exactly like page 1 that you see above (I know that the logic is very dumb).  However, I cant figure any other solution out.

Thanks,

Justice

"The first page needs to be resized with no toolbar,etc" How are you calling this page ? Thru a link, menu ???
Can you post that relevant code over here ?
