Hi,
I Have a Login page to my webbased project. Once the login is successful, i want to redirect a page, which won't show (button bar, like Back, Reload, Home , Forward buttons) . How can i make it? I don't won't open another window using window.open() etc.
I am running this on different browers, IE, NS, Camino, Mozilla.. etc.
Any one can help??

I've never seen any site doing this in my entire e-life.

Yes, you can.
You do so using window.open, like so:
Code: Select all
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
msgWindow=window.open('apage.html','windowName','toolbar=no');
//--></script>
Or, you can disable particular buttons individually.
However..

Because you dont want to open new windows, you cant. The window has the controls already there - the best you can do is EITHER open a new window without the toolbar, as I explained above, OR disable individual buttons using javascript.
Keep in mind that they can always disable javascript.
The better question to ask is why do you want to reduce user functionality - you shouldn't.

May be he is making some client side software or a private site where he wants more room for his page and can only design for like 800x600 or something. Can't say it doesn't happen because that is pretty much my job description.
