When we make a window pop-up (yeah...the one without the buttons, nav bar, link, etc..etc) , is there any script or code to be used so that the *maximize* (or the *minimize* when you already max it) button will be disabled or cannot be clicked? I'm talking about the one that used in Windows..you can see it on the right side..if you're using windows...

Thanks in advance.... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

can't recall ever seeing that done... i think it'd be hard/impossible because it "interferes" with a general windows function.. know what i'm saying?

The buttons are OS related not something that the browser can control. You can get around this a bit for the maximize deal by detecting the browser size and if it changes resizing the window back to the size you want but this will not work against the minimize button.

Personally I wouldn't want you to have this kind of control over my screen and I don't know of any programs that cant be minimized at least with an Alt+Tab or something similar

There is one way to do it...although it only works in late versions of ie. Check out this thread: http://www.ozones.com/forum/Forum2/HTML/000169.html

Basically, you open a fullscreen window then resize it.

Well...I guess I have to *hack* some codes so that it would work...

Please just keep in mind that if you take a user's ability to do something that they might want to do, and that they're used to doing, they may not like you for it.
