digital_fire Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi, My problem is I distribute web content on CD-ROM - Currently I have an autorun set that opens the relevent HTML page when the CD is loaded. This then uses JavaScript to load another window on top of that with the toolbars and alike disabled. Problem is I cant close the first window automatically without prompting an error message for the user.... Is there a way of opening the first window from the CD with the toolbars and stuff already disabled (i.e. customised)? Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted March 22, 2002 Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2002 You can use something like this: <pre> <script language=javascript> window.open('https://www.neowin.net/somepage.html','_blank','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=300,height=150') window.close (); </script></pre> Windows asks for confirmation before closing the window, except if you call this script with a _blank attribute. So if I have a test.html page with the above code and I would call that like <pre> <a href=test.html target=_blank></pre> then the page would close without confirmation. I don't exactly know how you open your first html page so ... ps. you can also use the _self attribute in the above javascript then only one window would be used but the other attributes like 'no scrollbars' would have no effect.
