[SOLVED] how to hide address bar... in browser

R8515198 · #1 Jan 30th, 2008, 15:39

Afternoon,
I am trying to get the browser down to its bare minimal.

So I need to get rid of everything. Bit like a popup box, but full screen.

Everything gone:
Address bar
Links
Standard buttons.

I can get it to work through a popup but require the first page to be the same as the rest with everything gone.

Can anyone help.

Any help is greatly appriciated.

Cheers
Dan

SORRY PLEASE COULD SOMEONE MOVE THIS TO THE JAVASCRIPT SECTION
I have found this code its perfect but am having problems changing this code/link var newloc = "http://www.yahoo.com"; to index.htm

Code: Select all

 
<script language="JavaScript"> 
function loadMainWindow() 
{ 
   var win = window.self; 
   win.opener = window.self; 
   var newloc = "http://www.yahoo.com"; 
   var ih = (window.window.screen.availHeight - 60) - 100; 
   var iw = (window.window.screen.availWidth - 10) - 100; 
   var it = ((window.window.screen.availHeight - 60) - ih) / 2; 
   var il = ((window.window.screen.availWidth - 10) - iw) / 2; 
   var features = 
"directories=no,menubar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes" 
+ ",width=" + iw + ",height=" + ih + ",top=" + it + ",left=" + il + ""; 
   v1 = new Date(); 
   v2 = Date.parse(v1); 
   v3 = "pg" + v2; 
   var oNewWindow = window.open(newloc, v3, features); 
   oNewWindow.focus(); 
   win.close(); 

} 

function window.onload() 
{ 
   try 
   { 
      loadMainWindow(); 
   } 
   catch(e) 
   { 
      popUpMessage.style.display = 'block'; 
   } 
} 

</script>

You need to specify a full HTTP location.

So if index.htm is in the root of example.com, the link would be

Quote:

http://example.com/index.htm

Moved to javascript as requested.

You would need to have newloc contain the entire URL to index.htm

var newloc = 'http://www.yoursite.com/index.htm';

This is all going onto cd so the location will be dependant on what drive the cd is on!!

If
var newloc = 'http://www.yoursite.com/index.htm';
cant be modified does any one have another script that sould have the same effect.

If it is not possible to edit the code above,

how would i go about getting the first window to close, and the new window to have the features of the popup.
Then links within stay to the pop up featured window.

Does that make sence??

You could try getting the current page location and adding index.htm to it with something like.

Code: Select all

// Assuming index.htm is in the same directory as the current page
var newloc = location.href.substring(0, location.href.lastIndexOf('/')+1) + 'index.htm';

Yet again you have come out with the goods, many thanks.
