pop up window with no bevel

[hccfilms]

how can i make a popup window with no bevel/shadowside?

Sorry, I don't believe you can - it's a security thing, like the task bar, so that the user knows it's a browser window.

Whoops, that shows what I know! By way of rather uncanny coincidence a couple of minutes after posting this I looked in the site check section at this http://www.michaelcarpenter.net/~thepost/ - no chrome whatsover, nothing to tell me whether it's a browser window or some app installing itself! Ugly and frightening at the same time...

The effect you want appears to be achieved with CSS/Javascript jiggery-pokery that addresses the property parent.chromewinr.document.bgColor and related props... view source on that example if you must ;)

or just read this (http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/Open_a_chromless_window/index.shtml)

is it just a pc thing cause I'm on a mac and dont see anything special...

[tg]

the tutorial for chromeless window will work only in ie, don't know about mac ie,

[jimburton]

Who agrees that it's an effect that stinks?

I'd like to see a screengrab - can someone up one please?

[jimburton]

Hope it's clear from this...

[Billy T]

sure was - thanks

Well it doesn't work on a mac so I agree with you - the effect stinks :D

I'm with Jimbob!

I think it's uggers, misleading and bloody hard to see.

I figure it's a bum. Anyone see the 'close window' icon?



Smart tricksters. Who needs that (except Mister Microsoft)?!?
