Iexplorer without BAR and in Full screen mode

[Ruud]

How can I show my work(hundreds of HTML pages)
in iexplorer Without a Favorites or Search BAR.

And how to start it direct in FULL screen mode

The script below needs a click in an HTML page
so...... 2 pages are active.
I like Full mode, for a lot of people have a 14inch
screen. and that size is too small for a 17 inch

<a onclick="window.open('xxxxx.htm','map','width=550,height=475')" href="javascript:;" target="_top" ,scrollbars="yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,alwaysraised=yes')&quot;">text for link</a>

Who can help me?
Thanks, Ruud

You know, most visitors absolutely HATE this. People with
14 inch monitors are used to scrolling right and left.
Don't take their choices away from them.

Jim...

When I looked your website, I understand your answer!
Perhaps your right...but millions of 14inch and 15inch
users don't scroll in their games.

I'd mentioned to someone interested in doing the same thing, that there is a
windows power toy that generates just that type of screen. I'd download it
(html slideshow), make one, and look at the code generated.

People expect video games to take over their screens. But when
browsing, they expect to switch easily among windows.

Dear Jim,
My database is on CD.....
The CD starts automatically (autorun info)(index.htm)

1. The best view-size is a big size, 950x650px or Full-size

If the start-window (index.htm) has a size of 900x650px it will
displayed only for 80/90% in a 14inch or 15 inch. You can not Scroll.
You have to move the window by clicking on the topbar of that window.
Sorry, but in that way, the discussion went wrong.

2. Menu and Tools BAR must be visible, so they can use Forward and
Backward page-options. But if possible, I like that the start-window
appears without the Favorites or Search BAR active, etc.
Most people (clients) have activated these BARS

So Jim.... you are the expert, you have all the books there ;-)
Please give a tip. Greetings Ruud

Then you have to use JavaScript to load a new window where you can control
some of the menu bars.

Jim, for extra info.

I'm an European(Dutch). For 2 years we life now in Indonesia(Jakarta)..
and I can tell you, that the biggest part of the world (East Asia ......
China,India,Indonesia,Malaysia, etc.) around 40% of worlds population
(A BIG MARKET) still buys the small monitor (more&more 15inch today).
because there budget, they also think in another way. So a lot of the latest
western products has a view problem.
The phone lines are bad and more expensive. IF there is cable connection,
access to foreign countries (WWW) it is slow or not possible at all.
The infra-structure (BIG-Problem)of these BIG-Countries will not change
fast.
Automatic uploading (what Microsoft wants) is totally not possible, and an
Utopia. If the west only looks to their own problems we will lose a lot.

Then if those are your users, you should not be designing at 950x650px
Best case they are running 800x600 (design at 760x540)
Worse case they are running 640x480 (design at 600x440)

PS it's not the monitor size in inches, its the resolution they are running on that monitor

I have two tips:

1. Never assume the Web visitor has any certain monitor size.
2. Never maximize the browser window.

[chris leeds]

the reason I remembered the windows slide show toy that does it is because
it was so damn annoying and very difficult to get out of/ close.
