How to hide menu on a HTML page

sing2trees · #1 Sep 19th, 2006, 16:38

Hi,

I am creating a basic html page which some colleaques will have open which I update with various stats etc.
Is there anyway I can set the size of the page, hide menu, sidebars etc.

Basically like a pop-up, but without using a first page with a pop-up link!

Hope that makes sense - all help appreciated!

Thanks

I don't quiet understand.

do you mean a link to a pop up page that doesn't have the browser navigation
like this (click on 'click here' in location section)

Yes and no. I would like the page to look like the popup, but I want the page to be the first thing that loads. It's something that my colleagues would have saved in their bookmark, so I don't want them to have to load up a page, then click on another link after that!

Does that make sense?

Thanks

Ben

Sounds like a weird idea to me but if you want to go ahead, think of the first page as a dummy load.

It contains JavaScript runs on load that opens the popup window and loads the file you want in it and redirects to that new file.

Still think its a wacky idea though.

Well here is the code for what i've got on my site
hope it will help

html that goes with the link

Code: Select all

<h3>Location</h3>
                <p>Snowy Mountains in south east Australia, about 500 km from Sydney. <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/powderhound11/Location%20Map.html"onClick="window.open('http://www.freewebs.com/powderhound11/Location%20Map.html', '_new', 'scrollbars=1,resizable,width=780,height=540'); return false">Click here</a> to veiw a Location Map</p>

to do what you want to do like ukgeoff said you'll probably need to use some JavaScript.

hope it helps

Code: Select all

window.open('http://www.freewebs.com/powderhound11/Location%20Map.html', '_new', 'scrollbars=1,resizable,width=780,height=540'); return false

This is JavaScript.

Er. I still don't understand what you're trying to do. Or why. Do you want a popup with information to open on a blank page?

It is really hard to understand your question. Anyways,

To make a pop-up window without using a link try using javascript on <body> tags OnLoad / OnUnLoad event.

Oh, I think I understand. You're trying to remove the status bar, address bar, etc. when someone goes onto your page. I don't believe that's possible.

Only work around I can think of is to have the page open apopup and close the main window, however that is a crappy thing to do so the other option, make a spiffy splash page which then opens your main content in a pop up. On the popup window you can remove the status bar, address bar etc....
