Here is my dilema.
I am running IE6 and everytime I try to open a "Chromeless Window" it opens full screen, no matter what I have the Width and Height set to. I reset all the settings in IE6 to default settings. Cleared history. Still having the same problem...I can not figure this out..

Is anyone else experiencing any problems with IE6 and Chromeless Windows?

....help?...... ;o)

Are you seeing this on your pages, or on ALL chromeless windows anywhere?

If it's just on your own pages, there is an IE-only variable for the features string of the window.open() method - it's named fullscreen. Make sure you didn't paste this into your features string set to "yes" or "1". If you did, that would over-ride any window dimensions you set.

If you are trying to make your own chromeless windows, the way the technque works is that first the window HAS to be opened full screen. Then you resize it to the dimensions you want. It actually a trick around the way IE works. The only way to open a chromeless window initially at specified dimensions is to use a HTA which is not suitable for the web, only intranets. Hope that helps. -aV-

Chromeless windows no longer works in certain versions of IE due to a security upgrade associated with XP. See:

there should be an update to dutyfrees comment, the latest versions of chromeless have fixed this error but older un-updated versions will still be broken

Same problem here. I can't get any chromless windows site working properly. And where is the new code? I just downloaded the latest version (I think) and it still doesn't work.
