  How to make a small internet window with no address bar

  Oct 19, 2011 09:22 PM|LINK

  I would like to make a small internet window for my website with no address bar. I want to open up this window in the middle of the screen, so the user can email information out based on the page their on. How can I do this? Will the session variables still be good or will they start a new session? The new window will be based on some session variables that are set on the main page their on. 

  Using: Visual Web Developer 2008; Asp.net 3.5; VB.net Code; Access db

  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
  <!--
  window.open ('titlepage.html', 'newwindow', config='height=100,
  width=400, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no,
  location=no, directories=no, status=no')
  -->
  </SCRIPT>
  
  location - is your URL box. session will still be the same

  or, use some jquery colorbox/lightbox/boxy, or use modalpopupextender using ajax, session will still be the same.

  the bottom links are what you probably want, but you can do either-or the javascript window.open - you'll have to make a new page, but with jquery or ajax modal's, you can keep your controls that you used on the same page, not having to make another one.

  How would I open this in an asp.net/vb.net code button with using Java script?

  The code below works. It's a html submit button though. The only issue is the address bar still shows. How can I disable that?

  <input type="submit" name="btnemail" value="What's This?"
                  style="z-index: 1; left: 571px; top: 160px; position: absolute; width: 292px; font-weight: 700; height: 31px;"
                     onclick="window.open('eqk.aspx','Items_Description','toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, width=515px,height=235px,left='+((screen.width -350) / 2)+',top='+ (screen.height - 235) / 2+'');return false;"
                     />

  As far as I know, most browsers (Firefox, IE8, Chrome) no longer allow you to hide the address bar for security reasons.
