Kiosk Mode from a link?

[Mr B]

Howdy,

I forgot to write down the answer I got last time and I can't remember what it was. I know that if
I'm running IE from an icon I can just use iexplore -k.....

How can I get that same thing from a link inside a web page? I'm assuming it's open.window followed
by certain flags but which ones make it so there's basically nothing on the screen except the page?

Thanks.

Original script courtesy of Kurt Grigg:
http://www.btinternet.com/~kurt.grigg/javascript/

Slightly modified, place in head tags:

<script>
function newwin(Page,scrl){
if (false)window.close();
if (!window.win ||
win.closed)win=open(Page,"","fullscreen,scrollbars="+scrl+",resizable=1");
else{
win.close();
win=open(Page,"","fullscreen,scrollbars="+scrl+",resizable=1");
}
}
</script>

this is the hyperlink.

<a href="javascript:newwin('pagename.html')"> Page Name</a>


Note: if you don't give the viewer a Close button, the only
way to close the windows is Alt+F4 or Ctrl+Alt+Delete
and then End task.

what does Kurt call this?
I looked quickly at his page but it wasn't immediately apparent.
TIA

Looks like Naughty Windows
- appropriately named since it is predominantly used on porn sites (-;

It's just 1 function from the script he uses in
the page at the link I posted.
I renamed the function to make it more obvious
what the function does.
