asked on
opening site in kiosk mode.
here we go!
as we all know iexlore -k www.yourwebspace.com
will open an instance of explorer in kiosk mode.
this is the perfect mode for stuborn users, this takes all navigation and chrome away from the all unknowing user.
this is the question.
how can I run this iexlore -k www.yourwebspace.com in coldfusion.
refrase how to run cmd line scripts on a coldfusion page and or site.?

<script language="javascript">
function full(url) {
if (document.all) {
window.open(url,'windowNam
self.close();
}
}
self.close();
}
</script>
<body onload="full(location.href
that should work.

function full(url) {
if (document.all) {

You had an extra:

in the script code.

tried that and onload it prompts me that the window I am viewing is trying to close.
if I say yes the browser closes if I say no the browser opens in browser view(with chrome.
so I tried changing the self.close(); to self.open ();
and got stuck in an infinate loop of windows opening in fullscreen.?

the prompt comes up b/c you are trying to close the main window.
The only way not to get the prompt is not close the main (parent) window.

is there a way to do it with out having a parent to close?
if not.
hows this idea?
have 3 pages.
one that will say
you need to click yes to proceed. (example)
if they click not they will go to a page that says
you are not authorized.
but if they click yes
the parent closes and the desired url/page is displayed in full screen
if not.

cj,
lets stick with the original script of having a text link.
can close the parent once the child is loaded without permission.
or keep the parent in the same page where the text link is?

You can use JavaScript to do this:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function full(url) {
if (document.all) {
window.open(url,'windowNam
return false;
}
return true;
}
//--></script>
<a href="default.htm" onClick="full(this.href)">
