(back, forward, home, etc). I don't need Revolution to control the site once it's launched - - - all it has to do is launch the web-site with no toolbars visible in the browser.<BR>
<BR>
This application would run off of a CD-ROM, and will not have the capability of uploading .htm files to a server. <BR>
<BR>
The only working solution I've come up with so far is to write a .htm file to the user's hard-drive which opens, and then immediately does a window.open command to the external site with the "toolbars=no" tag set. Then I use Revolution's revGoURL "file://" command to launch that dynamically-generated .htm file.<BR>
<BR>
This works, except it's risky. I've found that I need to clear out the .htm file's creator/filetype string, otherwise Revolution will launch TextEdit instead of the user's web-browser.<BR>
<BR>
This technique appears to work in Internet Explorer, except that it doesn't work in Safari, which I suspect will be gaining more marketshare in the near future.<BR>
<BR>
The .htm file looks like this: (altered tags so they wouldn't get eaten by email readers)<BR>
<BR>
[html]<BR>
[head]<BR>
[script]<BR>
function hidebars(){<BR>
window.open("http://www.apple.com","","toolbars=no");<BR>
window.close();<BR>
}<BR>
[/script]<BR>
[/head]<BR>
[body onload="hidebars()"]<BR>
[/body]<BR>
[/html]<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, this is a two-part question:<BR>
<BR>
1) Is there a better way?<BR>
2) Any idea why browser's other than IE don't like this .htm file?<BR>
<BR>
If you open this .htm file in IE, it should work for you - - - it will immediately open www.apple.com in a new browser-window, with no toolbars.<BR>
