Hello,

is it possible, to make the browser buttons and menue invisible as the
workbench starts without opening a new browserwindow through javascript from
the index page? As I have a "File" menue in my workbench the user might get
confused with the file menue of the browser. The forward and back buttons
might also be a problem for the user.

Best regards,

Markus Krüger

Hi Markus,

personally I would doubt that your users will like it if you interfere
with their browser setup in such a way (think of tabbed browsing and
thus hiding the menu for all the tabs). But for the technical apsect I
don't know if and how that could be accomplished. Therefore I will
forward your question to the qooxdoo mailing list. Qooxdoo is the
client-side JavaScipt framework used by RAP.

Cheers,
Rüdiger

Hi Markus,

here an amendment. The forward and back buttons aren't a problem if only
the URL to the RAP application was entered. In this case there won't
arise a URL history since RAP does only Ajax requests which aren't added
to the browsers history.

Cheers,
Rüdiger

Hi Markus,

there was a response on the qooxdoo mailing-list:
http://www.nabble.com/Browser-buttons-and-menues-t3410503.ht ml#a9590456

In addition I talked to someone from the qooxdoo team and mentioned this
issue. He - a JavaScript expert - was 99% sure that there is no way to
achieve this.

If you really need to present your application in a browser window
without controls, you can provide a link on another page that opens your
application in a new window using the JS function window.open like this:

<a
href="javascript:void(window.open('http://localhost:8080/rap ','RAPWindow','height=650,width=1000,location=no,menubar=no, resizable=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes')) ">Open
Window</a>

Ralf
