hiding browser toolbar and menubar

Jho
Is it wise to do the following to hide html source and
other info.
I plan to do a popup window which would close my existing
web page and popup a window in its place without toolbar
and menubar.

are there any disadvantages of hiding browser toolbar and
menubar ?
thanks

biggest reason... no one will ever visit your site again...
It's a HUGE annoyance and in the end you aren't actually disabling
anything...

Curt,
i would like to mention that iam implementing an
application not a commercial website which would be used
internally within a company.
My first page is blank with no background. And there is no
popup which says "do you want to close this window". It
replaces the existing window without flashing, just hides
the toolbar and menubar.

Appreciate your comments.
thanks

You'd would also want to disable the right click on the page if you really
want to hide the source.

Ofcourse once you have done all those things you limit the ability for
anyone internally to print the page unless you want to start adding print
buttons etc as well on every page.

It is simply not possible to hide HTML source code. HTML is text. When the
browser requests a page from the server, it downloads a copy of the HTML
document to its' Temporary Internet Files folder. While you can mangle the
browser interface to such an extent that it is almost impossible to see the
source code in the browser, all the tricks in the world will never prevent
someone from going in the Temporary Internet Files folder and opening ANY
file in Notepad.

How can the toolbar and menubar be hidden in IE? When opening the window via javascript I can specify 'toolbar=no,menubar=no', which works fine. However if the window already exists how can I remove them? If the browser is Netscape I can use javascript: window.toolbar.visible = false; window.menubar.visible = false; but IE produces the error: "'window.toolbar.visible' is null or not an object".

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can help here. We have a site where most of the site opens in a window with no toolbars or menubar: window.open('mypage.aspx','self','toolbar=0, menubar=0, etc, etc) This is because it's a data driven site where space is at a premium and we'd rather discourage use of back, stop and refresh. The problem arises because some "view data" pages are designed to be printed and have an onclick="window.print();"...

Hi all, In my recent asp.net (2.0) project, I want to give a desktop-application look and feel to my users. I think I'll do it by hiding the browser's default menu & toolbar right from the default page (i.e: default.aspx), which also serve as my login page. And it should have cross-browsers capability. Can anyone give me some examples on how to do it?
