Remove tool lines

The tool lines in some browsers are stealing quite a lot of screen real estate. How do I program my pages to instruct the browser to remove them?

Do you mean Toolbars or Scroll Bars?

I do mean the bars above the web-page. Internet Explorer is probably the worst offender. Every now and then I see a web-page appearing without, so I guess the web-page script can instruct the browser to hide them.

This is probably not a good idea on a site wide basis but if you want to open some pages this way you could use the Link to New Window action which does allow you to specify various parameters including whether to display Toolbars or not.

But it will open a new Window.

Generally it is regarded as not a good idea to mess about with the User Experience. Windoze users are used to big clunky toolbars etc. and they will wonder what is wrong if that is not what they get.

You can do this with some javascript but it will mean that you have to manually add your links ie select item/text Cmd+K

First paste the following script into the before end Head section of Page>HTML Markup

<script language="javascript">
<!--//
function myPopup(url,windowname,w,h,x,y){
window.open(url,windowname,"resizable=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,status=no,directories=no,width="+w+",height="+h+",left="+x+",top="+y+"");
}
//-->
</script>

Then on the item/text that you want to link to Cmd+K to bring up the Edit Hyperlink dialogue box.

Choose External then Other from the drop down.

Paste in the following

javascript:myPopup('http://www.cnn.com','CNN','1024','800','0','0')

This relates to the page you want to link to, the name of the browser window (arbritary but should be different for each link on your page to make them open in different windows), browser window width, browser window height, distance from left of screen, distance from top of screen.

Essentially this is all handled by the Link to New Window action if you want to do it the easy way.
