Need solution for this query.

How to hide the titlebar of popup window in IE7?

I am using window.open() method in java script to open a popup window.

I can able to hide the scrollbar and toolbar and some others except the Titlebar which is showing the URL-Title-Internet Explorer.

If i added my website (which is using https protocol) into the "Trusted Website" zone and "Security Level of Trusted Website zone" to "Medium_low" in IE7 then the titlebar is hided automatically.

But i need a solution to hide this "Title Bar" without doing the above activity.

It is a browser setting in the new versions of browsers that allow a user to keep certain toolbars open. There is really nothing you can do about it.

Thank you, But our requirement is, we have to restrict the users to close the popup window. We need to hide the minimize and close button also. The screen should be in fullscreen mode. The users can close the window only using the close button appears on the window after the completion of some particular task.

Well your requirements are written by people that do not understand how the web browser works. There is no way to keep people from closing the browser window. Alt-f4, Ctrl-W, etc.

You are not going to be able to get rid of the close button on the window. You can try opening the window into fullscreen mode, but that has been killed by most browsers because of security issues.

Thank you. But my requirements its like that. Users have to see the application as full screen. (Same like videos run from CD's).

Simple stating that you have requirements that cannot be met isn't going to magically be able to make you meet them.

Your requirements will need to be adjusted to accommodate reality.

If your requirement were make the user's monitor levitate above the desk and run without being plugged in, you would tell whomever wrote the requirements that they weren't reasonable.... right?
