    Question Intranet - Load without toolbar / address

    Firstly my apologies as there seems to be many variations of my question floating about but none seem to help so far.

    I am creating an Intranet and have absolutly no need for the toolbar, menu bar and address bar. I am aware i can disable these by means of a popup but how do i launch a popup window as my initial home page?

    You cannot do that reliably in the current browser environment extant in most intranet environments, certainly not with HTML. You say you have no use for these items but, what harm do they do?

    It's actually do-able in Javascript. The open{} function can specify screen size, toolbars, etc., and it opens HTML.

    open{} isn't a function . open(); is.

    And, there is no way to invoke it in HTML (the topic of this sub-forum). Even using javascript, there is no way to invoke it from the very first instance of a site without also invoking the pop up blocker.

    With a bit of javascript trickery, a splash screen can be used with a 'click here to enter' link that will both close the splash screen and pop up the real site without those items though. However, this depends upon javascript being turned on, something that cannot be relied upon in an itranet environment and it still doesn't quite exactly fulfill the original request.
