I installed an example script from this site to initiate a chromeless window, and it works great…for Windows 2000 and lower. The link is [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/borderless.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/borderless.htm) - so far, every person with XP I’ve gotten to help me has said that the window that pops up shows full-screen instead of the chosen dimensions. If anyone else uses or has used this script, or might know of a quick fix, please respond. If the script would have to be completely rewritten, I’m not that concerned with it. In that case, an OS detection script of some kind would come in really handy.

It’s not an XP bug, IE6 SP1 stopped supporting chromeless windows.
There is a rework of it at [http://www.chromeless.org/](http://www.chromeless.org/) that works, but I don’t recommend using chromeless windows… why you may ask…
1. They are just flat out annoying.
2. They only work in IE on Windows. This means any other browser, and any other OS will show just a standard pop-up… so whats the point in using it?

I only liked it for the visual effect it offered on my site. How about a good browser and/or OS detection script of some kind? Flash would be ok. Thanks for your help too.

Kirupa just added up a new tutorial for Browser Detection 😉
[http://www.kirupa.com/web/browser\_detect.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/browser_detect.htm)
As for OS detection, i’m pretty sure it is possible, but more complex than browser detection, and I don’t really see a need for OS detection as if it works on a browser type, it usually works in most OSes, I think the only browser this wasn’t true for was IE on Macs, but i’m not 100% on that.
