browser window

[Jessica Weiner]

I have a web application that needs to be displayed in the browser such that
it takes up the *whole* window, i.e.browser's back/forwards buttons and
menus etc shouldn't be displayed. How can this be done?

Thanks.

The main window will always have the bars (toolbar, status bar, etc...);
you cannot remove them for security reasons.

However, from the main window you can open a pop-up using JavaScript,
and in the open method, you can specify which bars should be displayed.
