removing address,tool menu bars

I use
<form action="screen.php" target="_blank" method="post"and a submit button
to open a new separate window which is simply a display screen. I therefore
do not wish to have the address, tool and menu bars displayed. Can I do this
from the
form script? or would I have to put some HTML script on the page that is to
be opened. or is it only possible with java script?

Can anyone offer a solution on how to do this?

Thanks Ian

Only with JavaScript *if* the client allows.

If the popup is necessary then you should advise your visitors to be
sure to turn on JS. If it's for advertising, then f--k you.

Do I understand you? You want to change how my browser appears and
works after I put an effort into making it appear and work exactly the
way I want it?

You can't. I use SeaMonkey as my browser. I installed an extension
that creates a non-standard toolbar that, if you suppress any of the
standard bars, this bar will still remain. On this bar, I have a button
that restores the other bars.

Why do you suppose?

Actually clicking the example (image) doesn't do anything. I have to click
the "Click here" (where have I seen that before? ;-) ) to get the popup.

At least you left me the X in the upper right so I can close the window.

Pity you took away the scrollbars, though. How am I supposed to see the
content past the right and lower edges?

The "uptightness" is because snatching control from visitors is a rude
thing to do. Discussed in c.i.w.a.h and even alt.html often. As
publishers/developers we should have no reason to expect that visitors
enjoy having their font-size or other usability preferences ignored or
overruled. When a user thinks toolbars are "clutter", she can hide them.

Also (and in the same vein): Markup and CSS are invalid in both main window
and popup. You set text color and some BG colors, but not all BG colors.
Text is too small. The box with "If you are having any difficulties with
this service..." is hard to read because of the low contrast colors,
worsened by the text size. Text is specified in px. Etc. All the usual
things that get discussed here (c.i.w.a.h, a.html) regularly.

But given that your "service" is to put distracting scrolling text and
marquees on your (clients') users' screens, I can see why you might not
care about whether they can control their windows. The service is obnoxious
(whether you have customers for it or not), so its implementation might
well be, too.

In any case, you got your technical answer in the first reply.

If you have set a font-size too small for my 66-year-old eyes, I need my
menu bar to change the size.

If you have used a color combination that makes the page unreadable for
my color-blind brother and two cousins (grandpa was color-blind), they
need the toolbar to use their own default colors.

If I see something on the page that piques my interest and I want to
search further, I need my toolbar to launch a new tab in which to do the
search.

Let me and all the other users determine what user interfaces we want
for our browsing experience. Sometimes, what we want is necessary
merely to access the Web.

The notice board is simply a display foe messages it is a separate window to
the rest of the site which remains open behind. Besides the noticeboard
simply remains open on the monitor, in a staffroom, reception, office ettc.
The administrator can do any manipulation from their own desktop pc. without
having to pop down to the communal area where the display is. People who

Agree, "Major Redirect" here has caught me not noticing the change in
follow-ups on more than one occasion.

Actually I find it really more confusing when a thread "appears"
suddenly mid-discussion without any context in a NG. Yes, it is okay to
truncate the list, but sometimes this guy follow-ups to different NGs. I
feel if the subject is OT better to just announce that alt.xxxxx would
be a better place to start a *new* thread on this topic...

If you're a teacher, how come your spelling and grammar suck? Furthermore,
the "giving them what they want" line is a favorite misdirection of illogic
often used by sneaks and tyrants. Ross is right, and the odds exceed those
of the double recessive that you're a fibber to boot.

How's that for constructive?

Reminds me of the scene in A Perfect Murder in the train when
Michael Douglas kills Viggo Mortensen, whom he had hired to kill
his own wife, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Viggo Mortensen had earlier criticised Douglas for not being
prepared to kill his own wife because he could not stomach the
"wet work".

As Douglas stabs Mortensen, he says something like: "How's that
for wet work!"

(Yeah I know, you probably haven't seen it... It is a remake of
the classic Dial M for Murder with Ray Milland and Grace Kelly.
Grace Kelly not only survived as did Paltrow, but went on to be a
princess in Europe)

Nope, don't recollect seeing it. Might want to, though; the cast sounds
interesting. And, of course, wife-killing has its own integral appeal.

Overall, it appears that the pages you want to create will implement
features that already exist in modern browsers. This is termed
"reinventing the wheel".

While I'm not an educator, my daughter is. She specializes in distance
learning for adults at both a community college and a university, mostly
over the Web and for a very broad spectrum of subjects (nursing,
continuing education for doctors, automotive repair). We frequently
discuss her career activities (which sometimes includes presenting
papers at international conferences of educators). When someone asks
her for a "new" feature that is already inherent in most browsers, she
tells them how to use their browser rather than implement what the
browser already provides. In the end, the students appreciate the
ability to retain control of their own configurations.

Nah, I kicked his butt. He ran away whining and squealing after I showed
him who's boss. If he reported otherwise, he's taking ya for a ride.

Vaguely remember "Dial M For Murder" (it was before my time.) My fav
Hitchy flick is "North By Northwest". Just a tad dated now, but seldom if
ever have I seen a movie with more suspense.
