opening a new browser

[Guest]

Is there a way I can open up a new browser from a web page; that is maxmised,
has the address bar hidden and goes to a specific URL.

I have tried using the javascript, Windows.Open, but the browser that opens
is not maximised and the user can't maximise it because the max button is
unenabled.

I have tried using the COM dll "Microsoft Internet Controls" (shdocvw.dll),
but I get "Acces Denied".

Any ideas ?

You could try the fullscreen parameter (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...hop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp)
and perhaps for other browsers than IE just open the window after having
read the current screen resolution and using those dimensions.

You could also the user choose its own layout (F11 allows to goes in and out
of full screen mode when using IE).

Try this:

window.open('http://www.google.com',null,'resizable=1,top=0,left=0,width='+s
creen.availWidth+',height='+screen.availHeight);
