Question

Hey guys, I’m new here and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something.

I’m making an electronic portfolio, and I have an HTML enter screen and when the enter button is pressed, my flash site pops up. My first question is, how can I get rid of the very top bar? The one with the minimize/maximize/exit buttons? I want to use a made button in order to close the window, which leads to my next question, what script would make that button work? Everything I’ve tried just closes the movie, not the pop up.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi FoxyGirl, welcome to the forum.

As to your question, I think you’re refering to what’s called a Modeless window which strips the browser windwo of all the tool at the top.

You can find something like that at this link here.

Keep in mind that many people are turned off by having their nav bars and such changed or removed. If it’s a professional site (that is, to showcase talent) you may turn away potential jobs by doing what you’re doing.

(just advice… take it or leave it.)

And keep in mind too that it only works for internet explorer. I hate internet explorer.
People also hate pop-ups, but if you tell them beforehand, well in this case…

Thanx for the link :slight_smile:

Hmmm… well you guys raised some good points. This is supposed to be my professional site, and I wouldn’t want to push people away… and I want to be compatible with other browsers. I just like being able to constrain the size of my site by using a pop up.
