disable browser toolbar onLoad

Mugentykst · January 14th, 2004, 06:09 AM

I know that I can hide the browser toolbar in a popup window but is there something that lets me do that in the parent window? I cannot trigger it via a link to this page. I need to trigger it when this page is loaded so it'd be great if there's a code like <body onload="window toolbar=no"> to do the magic... or ANY way to get round to achieving this effect.

Virtually impossible unless client security is set to very low. The alternative is to open a new window as you wish and close the opener by calling:

Code:

window.opener = self;
window.close();

from the original window.
Beware, this hack doesn't always work and is scheduled to be fixed as a security flaw in future versions.
