FP 2003 -- Web Page with No Navigation or Address Bars Showing?

A

Alan Whitehouse

Hi,

I am doing some simple HTML pages for internal use. Basically when the
user clicks on the file I would like it to open up just as the web page with
no navigation bar or address bar or anything else showing.

I am using FrontPage 2003 and new to all this. Can't seem to find how to
do that. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Alan

That seems to work if you are launching the web page from another web page
as a link. How about if they are clicking on an html file just located on
their desktop?

I don't believe an ordinary Web page, once loaded, can change the
properties of its window. However, I did come across the following
advice posted in 2001 by one Gosha Bine:
If your page is not intended to be viewed thru internet, try one of the
following:

- make it html application (just rename from .html to .hta)
- run explorer in fullscreen (aka "kiosk") mode (iexplore -k your_page.html)
Click to expand...

Maybe I can approach this a different way.

The user clicks on a "dummy" HTML page which has the Open Browser Property
set to my actual HTML document. Which would then appear like I want it to
appear.

Now the question is -- is there any way to have that first HTML page close
automatically once the second page has opened?
