Is there a way to create a plain browser window

Here's the situation; the website I'm developing is supposed to be able to pop up a new window when the user clicks on a link and play a video. I know how to embed the video with the object tag and use the target attribute of the anchor tag. But I'm trying to figure out how I can have a browser window without the toolbar, addressbar, personalbar, etc. Just a plain window for the media player. Aparently HTML DOM used to have the ability to define the window, but it seems that it's not supported anymore.
Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thank you.

Check out this great reference for window.open. It tells you which window properties you can set for each browser.

Cool and thanks. I was just about to post an update asking if you can use the createPopup() to do anything like that. Or is that just for simple little alert messages and such.

I was checking out the link you gave me, and I think I found the right section; but is this talking about how to set up how your personal browser will display? Or does the dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar work to set a users browser?
