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 is everyone getting uptight about this?
Why do you suppose?
Perhaps it is easier if you see the service I am providing my users and then
you will understand why it is not nessessary to have clutter like tool and
address bars
goto
http://www.iddsoftware.co.uk/announc...ouncermain.php
and then click the example to see the display
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 "uptightnes s" 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.
