Hi all:
Chromeless feels good. But, when I use the Dreamweaver4's gotourl behavior, the page content is updated, but the borders and top bar get lost. When I use a form's action to open another page in the same window, the borders and top bar remain. Both pages I pretend to open into the chromeless window, have a maximize_windows javascript, but I donīt think it could be the problem.
Any advice???
Thanx in advance |

| does anyone know how to stop a user from opening a new browser window if you have a fullscreen browser window open already? |

Hey,
yes it is possible to open images in browserless windows. What you'll, however, need to do is create some code that allows dragging and closing the new window without a draggable bar at the top (perhaps by utilising the right mouse click to bring up a menu for closing etc?).
cheers,

| Yo Yo Yo, its possible to do a browserless window in ns4, but only by using signed scripting... which is a pain. Done it once, but as you need the signing tool, I thought "maybe not". I don't know about ns6, but who cares if the usage is under 1% (www.thecounter.com). I've built the minimise (and resize drag), but the problem with browserless windows is the fact that I haven't been able to determine what the settings are in terms of "open new window / reuse" existing windows when clicking a link on an email (Outlook etc.). If a page opens in a browserless window replacing the controls in the top frame, its bad web design. Therefore, I've limited myself to using browserless windows only in specific applications, when I can close the window using the onunload event handler. If anyone's got an idea how to sniff that setting, please let me know (although, it may be impossible)! But hey... they are fun to play with. ;) cheers, r |

Yeah Chromeless is really good ;D .
Randomman you made a minimize ? But the new chromeless have it ...
It's so sad Netscape do not implement the fullscreen mode...
I'll be soon publish a new chromeless-style window for webmasters to use.
If you want some information when it's available contact me :) darkwolf@m6net.fr
What about going tu bugzilla website and convince programmer to include fullscreen in future ? |

| this is harder than people think - there are a lot of techniques put into play here - personally, i hate the idea of using these things, but i can appreciate the code used (not the over-complexity of the code). i think it is nice, but if it is not easy enough for my mother to program, i think it is too complex. is chromeless a new word? am i out of it? probably. i did something similar to this on my site - making a banner add that floats. if you have time chk it out - http://jerrynixon.com/jerrynixon/vbscript/new/new_window.open.htm then i added on to the idea and made a "news" ticker thaat hung around at the bottom of the screen - a guy wrote me and said he used an always-on-top outine and uses it regularly throughout his corporation. Always on top is the holy grail, huh? chk the news thing out - http://jerrynixon.com/jerrynixon/vbscript/new/ticker.htm |

minimising a browserless window is impossible as it effectively is a maximised full-screen pop-up window (IE window.open feature) that has been resized smaller. What you can do, and what I've done in the past is to add another button next to the close button and write a bit of script that moves the window to screen.availWidth-1, screen.availHeight-1 when the button is pressed. To bring the window back, you'll have to check for onfocus event on the window and then run a function that checks the position of the window; if it is screen.availWidth-1, screen.availHeight-1, hey presto move the window back to wherever it was.

This is regarding the site http://www.swidjaja.com/
First let me say that I thought that guy's site was cool at first - then I noticed that he moved the browser window completely off screen to show his "chromeless windows", but when I closed his site, my browser was still off screen! I didn't like that. But I think that is the answer to your question - he opened the main browser window off the screen before opening the other pop-ups.

yes, there is. just duplicate the function openIT(){ ...}
and rename the new one. now modify your parameters and use this function with your second link. repeat for the third and so on.
or modify he function openIT() {...} like that:
function openIT(theURL,wname,W,H) {
windowCERRARa = "img/close_a.gif"
windowCERRARd = "img/close_d.gif"
windowCERRARo = "img/close_o.gif"
windowNONEgrf = "img/none.gif"
windowCLOCK = "img/clock.gif"
windowREALtit = "VBK"
windowTIT = "<font face=verdana size=1>MENU</font>"
windowBORDERCOLOR = "#CCCCCC"
windowBORDERCOLORsel = "#FFFFFF"
windowTITBGCOLOR = "#CCCCCC"
windowTITBGCOLORsel = "#CCCCFF"
openchromeless(theURL, wname, W, H, windowCERRARa, windowCERRARd, windowCERRARo, windowNONEgrf, windowCLOCK, windowTIT, windowREALtit , windowBORDERCOLOR, windowBORDERCOLORsel, windowTITBGCOLOR, windowTITBGCOLORsel)
}
and use this as link:
<a href=javascript:openIT("test2.html","VBKMENU",300,300)>
watch the " !
when using this version you need only one openIT() and you can generate seperate windows by using different parameters at your link. you can also place more variables at the link call if you want more parameters to be different to the original.
questions?

| hi aakar, ok i would have been suprised if it was not so...what about this simple suggestion: i had a look on your coding(quite chaotic:->) and you are calling a function onClick. what about changing the link to a 'simple' one. just load yahoo or any other crap in your chromeless. if that works fine, you can be sure that there is nothing wrong with your chromeless. the error therefor has to be somewhere within your script....... |
| aakar on Apr 26, 2001 at 10:09:37 AM | No Rating |
kwazulu I already thought of that.. I tried using a target and then using the diff frame names from the .js and I even tried the name of teh chromeless window.. Still a no go...
if you go to www.bleet.com/aakar/realm/main.shtml you can actually click on the links and it loads in the page scroll layer.. But if you load up the realm index and pop open chromeless.. absolutly nothing.... :( |

hey kwazulu, got a way for no-borders:
the chromeless effect is built with frames: title, main and border (left, right, bottom).
when you have the orig 2.1 js file, move to line 253 (near end) with content
'<frameset border=0 framespacing=0 frameborder=0 rows="22,100%,1" onload="mainloaded=true" onreadystatechange="generatetitle()"> '+ '\n'+
and remove the third frame (the one with 1 pixel)
'<frameset border=0 framespacing=0 frameborder=0 rows="22,100%" onload="mainloaded=true" onreadystatechange="generatetitle()"> '+ '\n'+
remove
-the second frameset tag completely
-the frame tag called chromewinl
-the frame tag called chromewinr
-the /frameset tag
-the frame tag called chromewinb
search and remove the following lines completely:
parent.chromewinb.doc...
parent.chromewinl.doc...
parent.chromewinr.doc...
chromewinb.document.bg...
chromewinr.document.bg...
chromewinl.document.bg...
modify the function generatetitle()
from
' if( window.frames["chromewint"] && window.frames["chromewinl"] && window.frames["chromewinb"] && window.frames["chromewinr"] ) { '+ '\n'+
...
to
' if( window.frames["chromewint"] ) { '+ '\n'+
...
this will create the chrome effect with only two frames: the title and the main window.
when you killed the border frames, you also have to remove all javascript that was interacting with these frames. otherwise the windows won't be moveable by mouse.
when having problems, mail me:
basti@kaempfe.net and i'll send you the file. |

| kwazulu on Apr 20, 2001 at 2:01:27 AM | No Rating |
hi seafoxx,
much easier i think is this solution:in order to change the position of your chromeless you gotta search this:
var windowW = W;
var windowH = H;
var windowX = Math.ceil( (window.screen.width - windowW) / 2 );
var windowY = Math.ceil( (window.screen.height - windowH) / 2 );
in the javascript-file...... its at the very beginning, just beneath the
GNU-thing
the simplest way would be to change the script this way:
var windowW = W;
var windowH = H;
var windowX = 50;//fill in the posLeft in pixel
var windowY = 100;//fill in the posTop in pixel
your window will popup 50 pixel from your left screen-border and 100 pixel
from the top of your screen!
less changes, less possibilities for syntax errors, but nonetheless maybe anyone can help me:
i tried to avoid having a border arround the title and the body of my pop-up at all, but i failed... so to make it understandable: i dont want a border in the same color as my title, i want no border. think of an image in the title which is part of an image in the body and therefor should not have a border at all.
maybe anyone can help me....thanks |
| seafoxx on Apr 19, 2001 at 5:57:04 AM | Rating: 4 |
got a solution for the >place at center< problem of pekka.
sorry for bad english...
you have to modify the javascript a little bit.
open the script and take the line 9:
>>function openchromeless(theURL, wname, W, H...
now place two new variables at the beginning:
>>function openchromeless(startX, startY, theURL, wname, W, H...
at the bottom of the file you can find several lines, beginning with "splash...."
edit the following line:
>> splashWin.moveTo ( Math.ceil( windowX ) , Math.ceil( windowY ) );
to:
>> splashWin.moveTo ( Math.ceil( startX ) , Math.ceil( startY ) );
now the created window will be placed at the given position.
the html-file has to be modifyed, too:
from
>> function openIT() {
>> theURL="test.html"
>> wname ="CHROMELESSWIN"
>> W=300;
>> H=300;
>> windowCERRARa = "img/close_a.gif"
[...]
>> openchromeless(theURL, wname, W, H, ...
to:
>> function openIT() {
>> startX=50;
>> startY=30;
>> theURL="test.html"
>> wname ="CHROMELESSWIN"
>> W=300;
>> H=300;
>> windowCERRARa = "img/close_a.gif"
[...]
>> openchromeless(startX,startY,theURL, wname, W, H, ...
startX and startY represent the start position (upper left corner)
this should work.
i needed it myself, because i wanted to create two windows, one small menu and one big main window. originally they were placed on top of each other.
hope, i was able to help you.

out to pekka.gaiser or anyone who cares,hi peka! as far as understood the script the chromeless-trick works just because the explorer is resized to fullscreen. there is this thing in the explorer, that you can put him into fullscreen mode with this graphical-bar on the top. the chromeless just works here and then the window is re-resized to the desired width and height. so: NO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE! |

You can have a black border around the window by adding this to the body tag:
style="border:1px black solid;"
or style="border-top:1px white solid; border-left:2px red solid; " etc.

I got a question myself. I find it annoying that, for a split second, the window is visible as fullscreen before it is resized. That doesnt look very good, does anyone have an idea how to fix that?

hello everyone,
i would hope if you knew the answer to my question you would stop for 30 seconds and please give me a respnce but if not that's ok.
At my site i currently have a menu on the side and some of the links point to pages that i made come up in pop up windows. But, what i was wondering is if it is possible for me to use the chromeless windows instead of the popup windows. The problem is, though, how do you put links to multiple chromeless windows on one page?
If you have a responce please email me. Thank you so much. Oh and if you want to check out my site it's at www.starthugs.cjb.net |

I've compaired the code with other people code, it is the same but for some reason it doesn't seem to load. Also can anyone tell me, if i wanted to make two chromeless windows from the home page, how would this be done?????
thanks |

| It's a pretty good idea, but HTML Applications (HTA's) offer way more control with an optional windows like appearance. |

| Hi! I love these chromeless windows, but I am making a layout with them acting as pop-up menus, and whenever I add links in the chromeless windows with the HREF tag saying, "TARGET=mainpart", it never goes into the right frame. Could anyone either sign my guestbook at my site (http://hey.to/jen) or email me to tell me why it doesn't work? |

I really like what you have demonstrated here and was wondering if perhaps the performance could be increased by using DIV's versus using frames to 'construct' the window? Basically what is the difference in overhead between maintaining, 5 frames and modifying their attributes and maintaining one frame and several DIV's...
I really would like to discuss this and/or hear your ideas on why you chose frames and could this be done with several DIV's and an IFrame.
Cheers,

| This is amazing and helps solve a problem I've had. One question: I can get it to launch multiple chromeless windows from the same launch page, but as I launch the second one, it shifts focus and drops the first behind (under) the browser window. Any way to "pin" the first chromeless window on top, even when it loses focus? |

Would it be possible to have a simpler version that has no titlebar, or frames? Just the one content page in a chromeless window? Drop shadow would be nice. I see this as possible with showmodaldialog(), with the adorned property set to not. Adorned requires signed script. Weird. Don't yet know about signed scripts ... would like pop-up chromesless windows.
The initial load is a flash of white. |

| Would have been a five, but the omission of any standard 'progress bar' brings it down. I know it's difficult to do ( I can't actually think of a way myself), but it is an important part of letting the user know a page is progressing. |

I am very impressed.
Thanks for this special effort. |

This is a really cool script. Can someone tell me how to position the new window? Or how you could add positioning functionality to the script? Thanks |

I agree that the article utilizes some very cool techniques. I do have one question. I had something that is similar but when you drag it, it easily loses the mouse. Does anyone know how this example gets around that problem? I have looked at the code and I can't find the difference. |

This is the kind of stuff that makes the internet exciting, and hastens Netscape's ultimate demise...

| This is a great article and I must say that the Author's website design was excellent also. A great use of advanced techniques that are not only visually appealing but very functional as well. |

Perfect.
Is anyone up to the challenge of turning this in to a WEB OS. We need to add maximise/ minimise and resize to the window.
We also need to be able to drag and drop icons from one chromeless window to another.

| Excellent EG. Their web page is truely amazing - one of the few examples of art transcending the medium. A common problem with us techies is that we play with the toys (ie DHTML) rather than produce well designed and presented web pages.... |

| I have not had time to look into this area of DHTML and this was a very good explanation and demonstration of chromeless windows. Well done! |

| Excellent! Many possible uses for informative pop-ups, slide shows, or other demonstrations that can be used as sidebars to a main feature or content page without disturbing the visitor's site visit. |
