No Toolbars, Address Bar PAGE?

Hello,

THank you very much for reading our question. Is there a way to write a link that delivers a page without any toolbars or an address bar but that is a full-sized page, not a pop-up? What we'd like it to do is to open as a regualr browser page,just not to have the toolbars or address bars.

Many thanks,

YUnkaa

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('link.htm','win1','fullscreen')">Open Fullscreen</a>

You can close the popup with Alt-F4 or make a button like this and put it on the popup page.

<input type="button" onClick="window.close()" value="Close Window">

Here is an alternative that leaves the title bar and status bar in. It makes the window the maximum size and moves it to the top left.

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function makeWindow()
{
      a = window.open("link.htm","win1","width="+screen.width+" height=" +screen.height + " status=1")
      a.moveTo(-2,-3)
      a.moveTo(0,0)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onClick="makeWindow()">Open Fullscreen</a>
</body>
</html>

Hi,

Thanks so much for replying. How do we write the link to direct to a page, say for example, diary.html?

Many thanks,

Yun

Timbo87

In either script, replace link.htm with diary.html

Hi TImbo,

Thanks SO MUCH for your advice. This is really wonderful. Please can you tell us if there is any way to have scroll bars just on the right hand side and not at the bottom? Here's what we've got so far:

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('testingpage2.2.htm','win1','fullscreen','scrollbars=1')">Open Fullscreen</a>

You can close the popup with Alt-F4 or make a button like this and put it on the popup page.

<input type="button" onClick="window.close()" value="Close Window">

Many thanks,

Yunkaa

Add this to the body tag of your web page you want to popup. (diary.html or testingpage2.2.htm)

<body style="overflow-x: hidden">

If you already have other code in your body tag, just make sure you include: style="overflow-x: hidden"

Hi Timbo,

In the one we are using, is there anyway for it to have the addres bar, too? Please have your wizardry hat handy. :) We like the code without the additional script in the head. Anyway to also have that one include the address bar?

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('testingpage2.htm','win1','fullscreen','scrollbars=1')">Open Fullscreen</a>

You can close the popup with Alt-F4 or make a button like this and put it on the popup page.

<input type="button" onClick="window.close()" value="Close Window">

Anyway to also have this one include the address bar?

Many, many thanks...

Hi Timbo,

That is a little unclear. Apologies. Of the two examples you offered, one has all the code in the link itself, nothing extra in the head:

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('testingpage2.htm','win1','fullscreen','scrollbars=1')">Open Fullscreen</a>

Amy way for THIS one also to include the address bar?

Best wishes,

Yunkaa

Timbo87

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('testingpage2.htm','win1','fullscreen,scrollbars=1,toolbar=1')">Open Fullscreen</a>

Timbo87

Oops, sorry. When you use the "fullscreen" property of a popup, it overrides everything else, including address, status bar, and title bar. There's no way to include an address bar on a "fullscreen" popup. That's why I wrote the second example which immitates the fullscreen popup, but allows full control of the window.

Hi Timbo,

Thanks for your reply! One time I heard that, with the newerbrowsers, scripts can be placed entirely in the body. Is that true?

Many thanks,

Yunkaa

Timbo87

Yes, that is true.

philjones85

you can use this to create the source-code for links with the options you specify

Timbo87

The problem with the popup generator is to simulate a full-screen open, the height and width must be dynamically generated according to the height and width of the screen and that script does not allow it.

Hi Timbo,

THanks so much for all your GREAT help. With regard to placing the script entirely in the body, what is your opinion of that? Does it usually work well? Also, please could you show us how we would write the:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function makeWindow()
{
a = window.open("diary.html","win1","width="+screen.width+" height=" +screen.height + " status=1, scrollbars=1")
a.moveTo(-2,-3)
a.moveTo(0,0)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onClick="makeWindow();return false;">Open Fullscreen</a>
</body>
</html>

to have it all go in the body?

Many thanks,

Yunkaa

How can this type of solution work in an asp.net web app? I need my entire web app to be minus the browser toolbars address space and all. just the X to close. Any ideas?
