fullscreen windows

[dave evans]

Is it possible to have fullscreen windows for the entire site without the pop up feature can i create a site of these windows including index.htm and add my own style navigation as required, even toolbarless pre sized windows would do the job, this is to integrate on a CDRom presentation mostly in Flash but i would like to display some jpg's at high res and allso some mpg video, this will later be scalled for the web, hope this makes sense TIA Dave.

You can resize the current window using JavaScript's window.resizeTo() in V4 browsers (very rude for a web site, obviously). But you can't remove the browser chrome without using a pop-up.

A possibility would be to include a (possibly autorun) link to start Internet Explorer in kiosk mode (iexplore -k) for Windows users, whilst anyone else can just use the HTML files.

Thanks Andrew for taking time to reply, kiosk mode i have not heard of that before i will look into it, is it available with all OS's ie 9x 2000 ect it may do the trick im just trying to do this without a specialist programme, regards Dave.

I believe kiosk mode is available on all Win platforms, from IE4 up. So should be OK.

Thanks again Andrew, cant seem to find reference to kiosk mode on my system, any ideas how to launch it, is it with Java script, regards Dave.

You have to invoke it from the command line - try, for example, going to Start>Run...>"iexplore -k (optional URL)".

For a CDROM, you could write a small autorun program to find out the path of the itself on the CDROM, and invoke IE with the right filename. Don't know enough about Win32 programming to help you there, but I imagine someone will already have written one you can use, somewhere.
