Hello Eric,

Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. We want this ASP.NET
app to look just like a Windows app in the browser. Sans the menu bar,
icon bar, and anything else that gives the impression of a browser. This
is the primary issue and it can only be accomplished now by using a
window.open, which opens a new window with the desired attributes.

The first problem is with pop-up stoppers. Many users these days are
running them and it zaps out new window leaving the user confused.

The second problem lies in the window that remains behind. If you issue
a window.close, the user receives a prompt asking if they want the
window to be closed. This also tends to confuse them.

The full-screen issue is secondary, but also desired, in that the app
looks and reacts better in this mode.

I guess my question would be, why is this such a difficult goal to
accomplish?

Thanks again for your help and guidance. It is very much appreciated.

Herb
