Window.Open Again

Why when I do window.open('ww w.msn.com','_se lf','fullscreen =yes') does
it not make my current window fullscreen? Is there anyway to do this
instead of opening a new window? Thanks

Because web authors who knew no better abused the fullscreen to the
point that it was disabled. If users want a fullscreen they should know
how (if fullscreen is possible). If the users don't want it, don't try
to force it on them.

I've noticed that session variables will persist on Mac IE even after all browser windows have been closed. One must quit the program to clear the session variables. This presents a security risk for my session variable based security scheme. Basically, the risk is that a user will login to my site, close the window when done and allow someone else to come up to the machine, go back to my site and be logged into the previous user's...

It seems that Ctrl-N in Mozilla opens a new empty browser window. That's fine, I don't need to do anything about it. But Ctrl-N in IE appears to clone the current window. Is there a way to intercept the key so that I can do stuff on the server side to make the new window behave correctly? (We have a JSP-based webapp which stores state in the session.

If I use the following construct in the frame "main" for a link to an extern site: <A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern"> the Browser is creating the window "extern", loading the page www.any.xy an setting the focus to "extern". But when I go return to "main" without closing "extern", a click to an other link (e.g. www.2nd_any.xy) on "main" does not setting the focus to "extern".

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

We have a specific javascript call made from a standard HyperLink control that is opening up a link in a new window using the window.open javascript function. The page is on ASP.NET. Up until a few weeks ago things worked very well though recently we started to see the pop-up browser window actually minimize right as it opened. It happens on different machines for that same page only and all in IE. Has anyone ever had a window.open url...

I have a main webpage that has a list of records, each with a link to a window.open function call.

If the user starts changing the contents of the opened window, and then leaves it open and goes back to the main page, refreshes the list, and clicks on the same record link again, it reloads the contents of the page the user had...

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,...
