HTML help

Couldn't find a better place to post this question and ATOT seems to have faster and more accurate responses.

How do I have a web page open with no back, forward, address, history and such? I created a page that we are putting on a CD for marketing distribution and I don't need to have such things. I know how to open a new picture without those things but I can't find the code to open the initial page like that.

Thanks for any help.

IE/HTML is not able to do that without popping up a 2nd window using javascript. So what you'd have to do is either:

- have a "welcome" index.html page (full browser) that calls a popup without these browser properties. (see code detail below)

OR

- (more commonly) create an autorun executable out of powerpoint or flash (projector) for your presentation.

It really depends on how extensive your HTML is for the 2nd option. PPTs will work with HTML links.


If you want to go with option 1, the code to popup a new browser without the frame stuff is similar to:
<A HREF="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('myPopupPage.html','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=Yes'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">Start Show Now</A>
or better yet, have it redirect automatically by placing this in your index.html:
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=javascript:NewWindow=window.open('myPopupPage.html','newWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=Yes'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">
</HEAD>

Don't forget, you still need to start up the index.html automatically once the CD is inserted.

First of all, regardless of what you think OT is, it's anything but on-topic. Post this kind of thing elsewhere.

Secondly, google it yourself.

Hey thanks for the help. I see you need help in making a link here. http://http://www.google.com - Nice!

So if OT wasn't the place to put there where would you suggest? Motherboard or Highly technical? Oh wait I must have missed the Coding forum.

Thanks rh71, I see someone isn't bitter this morning.

Sorry, TMPadmin I can't help you with that one.

Every other forum is useless, I think it was a compliment to ATOTers that he posted here. ATOTers are smarter than all the other forums, I usually get my answers in this forum and not in highly technical. However you could be the exception FFMCobalt. You are probably one of those Repost Nazis too... Ahh, time well spent.

NP, I just added a 2nd solution to the HTML thing... it may work better for your tastes.

Not a repost nazi, no. I'm a grammar nazi. I also believe that there are other forums for a reason. 🙂 My previous link was to a google search for HTML, I just left an extra http:// in there. Take it out and voila.

Wow! Did that and nice Google, "html". I got closer with my own searches I've been googling when you were still in diapers! 🙂 No harm done but where would you suggest I post this? Every time I post to highly technical, networking or MB I never get an answer. My questions seem to be too difficult for those who linger there. So, I eventually find them but isn't saving time one of the reasons we frequent forums?

Forums are for helping people too. I learned the most from forums rather than review articles or anything else. Most of us don't visit anything but OT so I do the same sometimes and post here. If the mods want to move it, so be it. Until then... it doesn't hurt you to leave this thread alone.

I don't understand you bitterness. A simple question while I'm searching for the answer myself. If you don't like the thread just leave it alone, no harm done. If the Mods want to lock the thread or move it so be it. Maybe you troll ATOT because you have nothing better to do but for some of us Anandtech has provided some usefull information from some users. I should have known better than to post here anyway since things have really taken a turn for the worse.

Either way, I'm letting this die. I have my answer and I don't have time for this.

"fux0r up you will get" What!? Spam? Where did that come from?
