hello all, its been a long time and i have a small question for u guys.  
I need to manipulate the browser while i’m still inside the same page. what i mean is, i used java to open a new window with a certain size, no tool bar and no resize option, and what i need to do, is have this window changed again (maybe by a click of a button ) so that it becomes a full browser with toolbars and scrolling and all.  
there is a function in java ( self.resizeTo(‘x’,‘y’) ) which alowes me to change the size of the browser. what i cant figure out is how to change the rest of the parameters again.

plz let me know if u have a solution to this, and incase u didn’t understand what i mean exactly plz let me know so i would explain more.

thx

No there isn’t a way to do that. However, there is a work around what you could do is in the popped-up window you can pass the url you want to reload to back down to the parent and then have the parent pop-up the new window with the borders and options and stuff that you want…
