Code:

<a href="doc3.htm">Click here..</a>

and i want this doc3.htm to open in the same window but with tooolbar, location, directories, status etc. to be disabled. is this possible? thanks

thanks for the code...but this code will open doc3.htm in a new window, which i dont want. i want to replace the page inside doc.htm with doc3.htm with all the new properties applied.

what exactly i mean is, when i am clicking for the doc3.htm the toolbar, locationbar, scroolbar etc. should get disabled. you can also say it as:

window.open(doc3.htm,properties etc. here)
window.opener.close()

but this code doesnt work as browser isn't permitting this. can you plz. give me some other ideas.

I am sorry for last reply...without checking...actually i had tried this using a function like:

<a href="newwindow()">click here</a>

and in the newwindow() function writing the same code..but didnt worked for me. i thought your code will also give me the same output. extremely sorry for my last message.

also can you tell me how can i auto close windows generated by some window. For example: if doc2.htm was generated by clicking doc.htm, will it be possible that doc2.htm also gets closed automatically when doc.htm is closed as doc.htm was the main window from which doc2.htm was generated. if you aren't able to understand my doubt then plz. let me know..i will write it again in detail.

It goes something like:
<body onunload='popupname.close();'>

You have to supply a name for the popup window upon calling on the window.open method. This is done in the second argument.

window.open('doc2.htm', 'popupname', 'additional options');

The functionality that you are looking for may be available for Mozilla with the use of a signed script, however other browsers don't provide this.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/secu...d-scripts.html

The option titlebar=no is available only with a signed script, and it turns off the titlebar. In fact, in Mozilla, all aspects of the window's display are customizable with a signed script.

Hello, in your first provided code:

Code:

<a href="javascript:window.open('doc3.htm', '', 'width=100,height=200,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');">

the doc3.htm is opened, but at back the window doesnt get closed but it shows soem page with text "[object Window]" and the url of it is: "javascript:window.open('doc2.htm','Control Panel','resizable=no,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,loca tion=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,copyhi story=no')".

I am using Mozilla Firefox 0.9 browser. Can you tell me why is this so and how can i remove it?
