Hiding browser's menu and toolbar

Andy Lim

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?

Many thanks in advance,
Andy

just as long as you remember that lots of users will hate you for it. for
example, me, as a programmer, i can understand why another programmer such
as you would want to provide a nice desktop like environment, with
right-click context menus and a complete navigation system. but you have to
remember it still is on the web and that means some people will want to go
back, forward, add to favourites, view source, use their google toolbar
'find on this page' stuff, highlight words etc.

the nasty trick you require is here: (at least the best i could find)
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....15c5a6bd2b62ca
you will need to do some type of window.open in javascript, because you
can't change the current window. i think if you really really want this,
you will have to run your site in a popup window.

That will only serve to really irritate your users...

If ever I'm forced to use a site which does that, the first thing I do is
hit F11 to restore everything...

Hi,

I see your points, guys.

In this particular project, I'll be dealing with novice users. But they
might familiar in working with a desktop appl before. So, my sole intention
of doing so is nothing more than to make a smooth transition between these 2
worlds in regard of convenience.

Anyway, thanks to share your opinion.

Regards,
Andy

Hiding the toolbar, menubar, etc?

by: Code Monkee | last post by:

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".

by: Wayne | last post by:

I've been clicking around Access 2007 Beta 2 and can't see the custom menu bar designer. Is it in the beta? Maybe I'm blind. The question that comes to mind is: Will custom menu bars be the same height as they were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes up a huge portion of the screen? Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
