Re: Resize a window and get rid of menues and toolbars....

You cannot remove the menus etc. unless you use a pop-up window.
You could open an ordinary page and use JavaScript to open the pop-up, then close the normal page. However this will give warning messages.

The alternative is to open Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode, which will give full screen without any menu bars, but this is not what you are looking for and I believe this has to be opened by a desktop shortcut - not a link in a page.

Incidentally, in my set up of IE7 all new pages and pop-ups open as new tabs, so resizing affects the entire browser, and removing menu bars cannot be done at all.

Ron,
Thanks for the quick response.
This site is an internal Help resource, and it's pages are called by
outside sources that I do not control. My Help pages will open in
a new browser window, and the user will close it when it's no longer
needed, so it will not affect the user's browser size.
I want the Help window to open just like a pop-up, and the
resize script takes care of a part of that, but I don't want the menus, etc.
BTW, I know the address bar is a fixture, and that's OK.
As an example, please see:
http://www.ph4d.com/thecallingpage.htm
This would be the page that I do not control, which calls for Help.
The 2 choices are implementations of a small browser window, using
2 different techniques.
I want the look of the 'popupwindow' using the coding of the
'narrowwindow,' without relying on any coding in 'thecallingpage'.
Thanks for wading thru this.
