Scenario:
I am upgrading an intranet app and need a chunk of code to handle a
specific window action. The log-in page (index.htm) has one field and
a submit button. The action= page is an ASP page that requires the
info from the index.htm field. Currently, when SUBMIT is clicked, the
window loads the ASP page.
Need:
To load the ASP page in the original (parent/focus) window, but limit
the window controls to just scrollbars. I don't want a popup window.
Summary:
Please supply a code chunk that will allow me to load a new page in
the open window while also limiting the window controls to just
scrollbars. The page that will load is an ASP page.
Misc:
I will supply the code I am using if needed. Please advise. |

I need the original index.htm and/or a pointer to your website--
have you tried using target=_parent, etc.?
Also I don't quite understand you you meant by "limiting window
controls to scrollbars"? I thought this ASP code loads in a new
browser window--the scrollbar will be there if the presented materials
is larger than the default window.

Index.htm:

<BODY>
<TABLE border="0" bgcolor="red" width="100%" height="50">
<TR>
<TD>
<Font size="6" color=White>
Sherman Pursuit

Please select a division:

<FORM action="home.asp" method=POST id="home" name="home">
<SELECT id="division" name="division">
<OPTION selected>Click arrow for choices...</OPTION>
<option>Area</option>
<option>East</option>
<option>Montgomery</option>
<option>North</option>
<option>North Central</option>

<option>------------------------------------</option>
<option>RESET</option>
</SELECT>
<INPUT type="submit" value="LOG IN" id="login" name="login"
style="WIDTH: 75px; HEIGHT: 24px">
</TD>
</TR>
</FORM>
</TABLE>
<P> </P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
------------------------------------------------------
My form action="home.asp" and method="post" so I can send the value to
the ASP page. However, when the user clicks the submit button, I want
the home.asp page loaded into the same window of the index.htm. No
problem until I try to control the features of the window. I don't
want any window control (e.g., back/forward button, address bar, menu
choices) displayed except for the scrollbars. I can do this in a
popup window but don't know how to do so in this scenario.

Krickles

Hi
Two parts to your question--two answers:
1) To make your asp load into same windows--use target="_self", ie:
<FORM action="home.asp" target="_self" method=POST id="home"
name="home">
2) Because you are making it appearing in the same window, there's no
way to wipe out the buttons, menus, etc. Of course you will still get
the scrollbar.
Let me know if this answer your question so I can post a formal answer
for you. Thanks!

I like the idea of opening a popup window and then closing the parent.
I have no idea how to do this, please provide instructions.
BTW, I don't have to worry about a popup stopper b/c our IT department
locks down all work stations and has the same image on all of them
(which doesn't include a popup stopper). No one can install anything
on their own machine.
Thanks in advance. Regards, KRickles

Alright, can you give this a try and let me know?
<INPUT type="submit" value="LOG IN" id="login" name="login"
style="WIDTH: 75px; HEIGHT: 24px"
onClick="window.open('home.asp','PopupWindow','toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');self.close()">
Thanks

BTW, I can install PopupStopper without admin rights. Also, I can
disable Javascript on my browser without admin rights. I do it all
the time myself (since personally I despise popups :)

Also, note that when you start using Javascript you have to watch
browser compatibilities carefully. And also, in IE, for security it
will prompt you if you want to close a window that is manually opened
by you. Javascript is annoying IMO.
