Bugimus Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: New California Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 09-22-2000 03:49 I'm not sure why IE keeps that grayed out scroll bar on the window but did you also know that the "fullscreen" option isn't supported by Netscape? If you want it to kind of work in Netscape I think you would have to get your screen's width and height and pass that in with the window.open() function.

Yep, I use the following Netscrape compatible script and as mentioned, pass the width and height to the popup function..

// Make sure this var isnt filled with rubbish from memory
var showWin = null;

function show(urlen,wid,hig)
{
if (showWin != null)
{
if (!showWin.closed)
{
showWin.close();
}
}
showWin = window.open(urlen,"",'toolbar=0,location=0,top=0,left=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width='+wid+',height='+hig+',dependent=yes');

}

This should solve your problem.

The thing that you have to do is to have the target window that pops up be a frames window, and have the frame load the actual page with content. This will get rid of the scroll bars.

Here is an example

That has it done, and it also centers the window to your screen size.

Use bugimus code, except add full=yes to the parameters.

why use a frameset when it works without when you are opening in a new window anyway?

here follows the code:

<html><head></head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
</SCRIPT>
<body onLoad="popmain();"></body></html>
