I have a window that is chormeless (i got it from....http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...chromeless.htm) and i want to put a button (like the ones that you use for the submit button on forms) and i want to make it close out the chromeless window.....
PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS DONE BY TOMMOROW!!!!
THANKS ALOT!!!!!
:) :D
This only works if the window was launched with javascript. I believe the chromeless window qualifies under that rule.HTML Code:<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="self.close();">
Thanks i will try that
Ok i tried that and it didn't work....
i am using this code
HTML Code:<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="chromeless_35.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">

i need to make that whole window close and i tried using the following code
to close it and it doesn't do what i want it to please helpHTML Code:<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="self.close();window.self.close();window.close()">
I set up a demo here and checked the code it uses to close itself when you hit the x on the close button for it. This tested out just fine here:
You put that on your page which is showing through the chromeless window.HTML Code:<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="top.window.close();">
You do know that this chromeless window is useless on the web, don't you?
click where for the demo?
:) :) nevermind thanks a BUNCH it works! :) :)
There is no real way to do a demo of this script on the web, mine was only a local demo, anyway. Use this:
on the page you launch in the chromeless window, it will close the chromeless window.HTML Code:<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="top.window.close();">
I doubt you can do that. There may be security issues involved. One thing you can try is (worked in an address bar trial here):
I really think this whole idea is poorly thought out though. Don't you see how, on the web, the chromeless window isn't really chromeless but, inside another window? Also, in other browsers, a simple pop-up is created instead. The code I originally gave you works in FF to close this simple pop-up but, changing it to work in IE causes FF to no longer close. I'd suggest using a regular pop-up as can be made using this wizard.HTML Code:<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="top.window.parent.opener=self;top.window.parent.close();">
I know what the chromless window is and i wanted it just for visitors in internet explorer, i will try that code and see if it works
If you are determined to do this, and if my new code works, you should do a browser test:
HTML Code:<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="if(document.body.filters){top.window.parent.opener=self;top.window.parent.close();}else {top.window.close();}">
thanks you have been a big help i will try this later.... thanks
do you need my webstie anymore because i want to remove it from this post if i can
nope, i tried both of the codes and they both dont work (the code before and the code you just gave me)
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
i think this might make it easier....is there a way to display something in a website but make it disapper when its in an chromless window? because i want the logout button to work for both chromless and fullscreen windows, but i only want that because i dont want visitors to be clicking on close window and it not closing out of the chromless window....

document.write('<input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="top.window.close();">')
</script>
A few things you might try as an onclick event for the button on the chromeless window for IE are:
opener.mywin001.close();
and
opener.opener.mywin001.close();
and
opener.opener.opener.mywin001.close();
and
top.window.opener.mywin001.close();
and
top.window.parent.opener.mywin001.close();
and
parent.opener.mywin001.close();
where 'mywin001' is the variable name you assigned (as in the demo) to the chromeless window when you opened it.
today during school i though about doing the same thing (using mywin001 in the script) but i will try all your sugestions.....thanks a lot!
PS. Do you need they website anymore?
so far i tried the code you said about making it appear only in the fullscreen window, but it's not working .... the two script i am working with are from http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/window1.htm and http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/window1.htm
i want the fullscreen one to show the logout button but not the chromless one
Thanks, I'll try the others 2
does anyone know that answer?
You've lost me, those (see above quoted) are the same two scripts.Quote:

sorry the above is now right
any one got any ideas?
Since you've removed the link to your demo, at least as far as I can tell glancing back over this thread, it would be hard for anyone to see what you are driving at anymore, myself included. If I am missing something, where in this thread is a link to the demo? The code I wrote in post_#16 of this thread shows how to make a close button that will only be visible to browsers other than IE. That really should work out as, (with your old demo) in IE the chromeless window had its own [x] to close button. To determine what you are now trying to do and if there is a way to do it that I can figure out, I'd need a more detailed explanation of your current aims and a link to a demo of your current best attempt. This would also be helpful to anyone else who wants to jump in and help on this one.
