trying to close a window and open a new one without toolbars

Hi,

client wants for a window with no toolbars to open (technical and
'esthetical' reasons) after the window, user clicks on, is being
closed.

I told them about security settings in browsers and no cross-browsers
solutions and all of that we know, but they have told me they have
seen that before and how then the annoying pop-up windows work? . . .

After reading and searching . . . I still don't see how to get it
right

This is what I have (see below) which is still prompts you with the
message:

"The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window."

"Do you want to close the window?"

"[YES|NO]"

// Page1_WithBrows werToolbars.jsp
// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Page1_With Browswer Toolbars

<html>

<title>Page1_Wi thBrowswerToolb ars</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="Javas cript">

function newWindow(popWi n){
// __

window.close();

popWindow = window.open(pop Win, 'popWin',
'width=700,heig ht=600,resize=y es,toolbar=no,l ocation=no,scro llbars=yes');
popWindow.focus ();
}
-->
</script>
</head>

Which this is not. What makes you think
Java programmers are qualified or able
to abswer JS questions? Most Java programmers
would not even recognize the mistake in that line.

Would you ask the baker about that problem
you are having with the roof on your house?

<http://groups.google.c om/groups?q=group: comp.lang.javas cript>

In future, please do not post JS questions to c.l.j.p.,
please do not cross-post to three groups (in case you
were wonderring if you might be that important - no,
you are not).

F'Ups set to c.l.js.

Those annoying pop-up windows don't close the original window.

Your parallelism I find more off-topic (and I would say stupid) than
my inquiry.

Proof?

I did a javascript group:comp.lang .java.programme r search and got
14,100 (including mine)

'"public class" group:comp.lang .javascript' gives you 359
'"public class" group:comp.lang .javascript -applet'; 108

'"public class" group:comp.info systems.www.aut horing.html'; 12

There must be a reason why javascript qs are more than 100% likely
posted on a java group than java qs are posted in JS/design ones. I
have constantly seen people asking HTML and Javascript questions to
server side java developers here in this group.

They usually complain about HTML/design people being cranky.
In future, please do not post JS questions to c.l.j.p.,

Thank you for letting me know how important I should think I am.

Now, do you want to become my mother too?

Great. But Java != JavaScript.

are often not appropriate for any of them.

Java and JS questions are off-topic for ciwah, unless they pertain to
the markup used to include them in an html document.

Andrew's post was off-topic I guess *but you started it* :-P He was simply
pointing out your mistake, so that you/others wouldn't make the same mistake
in the future. He could said it more succinctly and in a nicer way, but at
least he got his point across ...

Proof?

I did a javascript group:comp.lang .java.programme r search and got
14,100 (including mine)

'"public class" group:comp.lang .javascript' gives you 359
'"public class" group:comp.lang .javascript -applet'; 108

I did a "depression " group:sci.med.c ardiology search and got 886 results.
Then I did an "atherosclerosi s" group:alt.suppo rt.depression.m edication
search and got 62 results

I must remember from now on to post all depression related questions to
sci.med.cardiol ogy as well
There must be a reason why javascript qs are more than 100% likely

I'd take a guess that a large proportion of those would be
- posts like yours
- posts by newbies who don't realise the difference between Java and
Javascript
- posts containing the word Javascript but are not related to Javascript
(e.g. posted JSP code that has js code in it)
Thank you for letting me know how important I should think I am.

Now, do you want to become my mother too?

Reinforcing exactly my point.

because of your language.

They work in IE with no blocking software installed.
My browser, Netscape 7, blocks all that shit. So do many others,
including Firefox, Mozilla, and Opera.
IE on the lowest security setting allows a popup to close the opener,
IIRC.

What the client wants sounds best suited to an intranet application
where the users all have IE and can make the site "trusted". Is this the
case? If not, don't bother. Most internet users do not want popups and
none of them are going to trust your application to close the opener
from a popup. The very concept of such a thing is alien for Opera users,
since new "windows" are able to be opened in one browser instance.
Trying to close the opener might well close the entire application.
Now, if it IS an intranet application and the users have IE, try making
the site trusted in the low security settings. That might make the
message go away.

I would like to return error message in a pop up window. Window.open would be great, but it can only be associated to the onclick event of the button: button.Attributes.Add("onclick",... Any ideas? I thought of creating a invisible button on the form, pressing it programmatically, and hopefully this will fire the event above. Any other ideas?

Hi Gang, With your help, I can show a thumbnail image in a new browser window. But I would like to open the browser without all of the toolbars and sized smaller -- something like what you get when you click on a product image at the Amazon site.
