As far as I know, you cannot open a browser from the command prompt without a
toolbar. Also, you cannot remove the toolbar from a browser once it is open.
What we do is open a window that loads a page, where the page loaded only opens
another window without a toolbar, and then closes itself. However, there is a
trick to this. Normally if you have a javascript that tries to use
window.close(), and the window was not opened using window.open() (or from a
link in an already open window with a different "target" attribute), it will
prompt the user if they really want to close the window. You can get around
this by setting the window.opener attribute to itself. This will allow you to
close the parent window without a prompt.
Hopefully you were able to follow all that. Let me know if you have any
questions. Here is my html page that opens the new window and closes itself:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script>
var features =
"location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,titlebar=yes,toolbar=no";
var url = "/somefolder/somepage.html";
var win = window.open(url, "", features);
win.focus();
/* workaround that allows a window that was opened from a command prompt to be
closed using javascript */
window.opener = window;
window.close();
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Subject: [WEB400] Pop up initial browser without toolbars
Hello,
Can anyone point me to an example of how to start a cgi application in a
web browser minus all toolbars. I have a way of opening a pop up window
from an existing open web browser but I want to launch the application
in a toolbarless browser. How can I do that? Would I do it as a
redirect? With an onload statement?
Thanks in advance.
