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

[vinceg]

I have a site in which pages are forced to a specific sized browser window
using 'window.resize(600,500)' in a script. The script executes on load of
the page.
Is there any way to get rid of the menus and toolbars, etc, at the same time?
I don't want to do it by using a pop-up script in a calling page. I want to
open the 'menu-less' window using only code in the page that is being opened.
Thanks in advance for any help

Use a pop-up window. IE7 cannot have the address bar removed, even with
a pop-up.

If any page (other than in a pop-up window) resizes my browser, the site
goes into the restricted sites zone, and is never visited again.

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.

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.
