Can you set the windows features (i.e. no scroll, no navigation bar, etc..) via a js line in the head?

window.location.????

or do a have to call a function after load?

I don't think you can do this once the window has already been opened. You can do it in the call that opens the window, but I don't think you can do it otherwise.

Hmmm....I've done this to resize or redirect a window. Are you sure?

Wish my JS book wasn't packed away :-(

here you go:


hide each of the six bars:

window.locationbar.visible=false
window.menubar.visible=false
window.personalbar.visible=false
window.scrollbars.visible=false
window.statusbar.visible=false
window.toolbar.visible=false


this is copyed directly out of javascript bible... they say in netscape you need to put these lines in:

before:

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege ("UniversalBrowserWrite")

after:

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.disablePrivileg e("UniversalBroowserWrite")


hope that does it

Once again! THANKS WIL!

Hmmm .... so I put this in the head:

[script type="text/javascript" name="Set_Window"][!--
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.disablePrivileg e("UniversalBrowserWrite")

window.locationbar.visible=false
window.menubar.visible=false
window.personalbar.visible=false
window.scrollbars.visible=false
window.statusbar.visible=false
window.toolbar.visible=false

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege ("UniversalBrowserWrite")
// --]
[/script]

and it doen'y seem to work ... hmmmm

[clam2000]

will it work with the enable above and the disable below?

Nope .. atleast not in IE or Safari, haven't pulled out Camino yet, but at this point it doesn't matter.

hmmm ... if I used a function that would mean that i have to have an onload, which might look rather odd.

Any ideas? I could always dump the pages into a single frame, but that's what I'm trying to remove ... any use of frames.

[clam2000]

ok, first off apperantly it should have been .visibility not .visible (my bad) but that only will work in netscape

there is probably some way to do it with:

window.open("whatever.html","_self","toolbar=no")

if you call the window "_self" it will open in the same window... but in my test it didn't actually hide the tool bar.

(easy way to execute javascript is to set your location to: javascript:script so you can paste javascript:window.open("http://www.apple.com","_self","toolbar=no") into your location bar to test it out)

I think I'm going to put this on the back burner for now ... maybe the next revison/tweek.

I was attempting to elimante scrolling as well as address my preloading issues.

I've decide to go back to my old technique of using two frames ... the left set to 0 will contain my preloaded/always loaded items and the right will eliminate the scroll bars.


Now if I can come up with a simple way of dynamically building pages :-) doc.write? ... hmmm since my nav bar is now out of the side frame it's got to be placed inside all my pages ... ouch!

Thanks again for the help :-)

[clam2000]

you probably either want to do something dynamicly on the server (serverside includes / php / perl...) or if you can't you might consider iFrames, that way you can update your navigation page in one place

Thanks Wil, I think I'm going to reinsert my previous preloading technique and finish off the content first then do some research on iFrames.

How well is it supported? iFrames = Layers?

[clam2000]

iframe stands for inline frame, and all current browsers support them.
