qazi_nomi · September 4th, 2004, 12:46 AM

I have a web page and I want to display it on full screen. And for this I made an other page which open the first page on full screen. But I want to close the first page without any warning. Here is the code of that page

<script language="JavaScript">
var subdirectory = "";
function show_window()
    {
        top.window.open("Default.htm","","fullscreen,scrol lbars")
        clos()
    }

    function clos()
    {
    top.window.close()
    }
    </script>
</head>

<body onLoad="javascript:show_window()">

when this page is executed it dipalay the warning that this page is going to close Yes or NO
I want to avoid this message and close this window with out any warning

(*_*)

:D

There is a hack for IE that gets rid of the message, but it won't work on other browsers.

Before the top.window.close() line, add this line:

top.opener = top;

HTH,

why don't you just resize the window instead of closing it and openind another one?

isNaN,

By fullscreen, Numan means no toolbars, statusbar, titlebar, addressbar, etc. Removing these cannot be achieved without opening a new window, or perhaps with ActiveX (which I do not know).

oh I know what you mean now. But a message will come up when trying to close a window that wasn't opened by script. I don't see why you would wan't to do that. Can't you live with the other window open if it's not focus what difference does it make.

Although I agree with you about living with the other window open, Numan asked for a way to close the window without the "this window was not opened by a script" warning, and I gave him one, at least for IE. There may be a similar hack for other browsers, but I don't know of any.

Yes I know you gave a perfectly valid answer to the problem viewing on IE. I understand that he wanted to close the window. But I think it's is putting a lot of extra work in to make sure you come up with a way for every browser. When leaving the window open wouldn't make that much difference. Don't get me wrong I do get involved in site design and want to make it as perfect as possible. but I would leave out all of the if's and else if's that would be required if there are these hacks for every browser.

isNaN,

It is a good idea to avoid browser detection, but if it is the only way, sometimes it must be done. Myself, I would just leave the window open.

Anyway, I doubt there is a way to do this for every browser :-)

Hi Dears
Snib code is working very well in IE but as I open the full screen window then I want to make my own close and minimize button on it. And as for as the close button is concern I made it but remain problem in minimizing the window.
Any idea how to minimize the window?

AFAIK you can't with a fullscreen window. window.blur() is the next best thing.
