CF Window with no title bar/borders or a window that can be dynamically updated

you can't (easily) hide the title bar since it contains the X to close the window but you can


1) Just not use anything for the title attribute

2) hide the title text by manipulating the css (this is a bit silly since you get the same effect by not using a title attribute) but i'm including it because you can do all sorts of other things by creating a class and applying it to the header

<cfajaximport tags="cfwindow"> 
<style>
.noTitle
{font:0px;}
</style>

<script>
function openWindow(){
document.getElementById(ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject('myWindow').header.id).className = "noTitle";
ColdFusion.Window.show('myWindow')
}
</script>

<cfwindow width="200" height="150" name="myWindow">My Window</cfwindow>
<button onclick="openWindow();">Open</button> 

Select allOpen in new window

or

3) manipulate the title dynamically

<cfajaximport tags="cfwindow"> 
<script>
function openWindow(){
document.getElementById(ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject('myWindow').header.id).innerHTML = openWindow.arguments[0];
ColdFusion.Window.show('myWindow')
}
</script>
<cfwindow width="200" height="150" name="myWindow">My Window</cfwindow>
<button onclick="openWindow('My Variable Title');">Open</button>

Select allOpen in new window

I'd like to hide the title bar and borders completely... similar to what is being done here: http://www.coldfusionguy.com/ColdFusion/blog/index.cfm/2008/5/30/CFWindow-as-Image-onMouseOver-EnlargerPop-Up

I am not having any luck at all. I am stil a beginner when it comes to this type of code so is there a way to have an example similar to that one? I just want the CFwindow to load the contents and not show the borders etc.

Thanks again.

Also, with the above example, I receive the following error while debugging.. nothing happens when clicking the button.

works fine for me in FF, IE, Chr & Saf - did you copy & paste exactly? What version of CF are you using (working with 8 here)

As for hiding the border completely, (as I said in my original post "you can't (easily) hide the title bar" Scott's blog post covers how you have to do it. There aren't really many shortcuts or other examples that would be any less complicated.

I am using CF 9 - I believe this may be the issue. I can't find any equivalent examples for CF9 anywhere.

there shouldn't be any issue with 9 although I can't confirm it. The functionality should be the same.

I don't know much about the ext stuff except they changed the version ... again. So some CF8 tricks don't work in CF9. You need to figure out the new syntax all over again. CF9 does have a headerStyle attribute:

            <cfwindow headerStyle="display: none;"...>

but nothing for borders. Least not that I can see.

What's your reservation about using cfdiv?  It's gotta be simpler than messing with cfwindow ...

I am not sure how to do what I was trying with cfdiv. Basically dynamically updating a variable. With cfwindow I can destroy and create it without refreshing the page... not sure how to do this with cfdiv.

thx agx - thought you might chime in. I've not used cfdiv much so perhaps you can help with that.
