No... there are no methods to configure the currently active window in that
way. Even if they're were it would have to operate on the current window -
remember that when a browser opens it doesn't "have a page". The chrome
(toolbars, menus, etc) are constructed and displayed before the page is
looked at.

So anything like what you're saying would have to work by eliminating those
features from the current window... and anything that could do that would be
quickly tagged as a security issue by spammers abusing it.

You could, as you noted, open the application in a new, configured window
from a "launcher" page. That's the most common way to do it.

Hi Jim,

I tried out, yes, it can work:

<script language="javascript">
window.open("calculator-en.htm","","toolbar=no,menubar=no")
</script>

It's really a good forum here,

Thanks you very much Jim.

Best Regards,

Hi Jim,

You should test that code with IE6 with the popup blocker enabled and
see how long it "works" with a new window that was not initiated by user
interaction.

<script language="javascript">

language is deprecated, use the type attribute instead.

window.open("calculator-en.htm","","toolbar=no,menubar=no")
</script>

It's really a good forum here,

Maybe that would be true if this were a "forum" but, rather, it is a
Usenet Discussion Group.

But, had you read the group FAQ, specifically 4.36, you probably
wouldn't have had to post this question at all.

"How do I modify the current browser window?"
