javascript - How do I create a chromeless window?

Question

We used to be able to use javascript in IE to produce a chromeless window...no buttons, scrollbars or even the standard edges of the browser window.

My question: Is there any way to accomplish this type of window look from the web with today's browsers?

Answer 1

Nope, and because it was abandoned for security reasons (exploit example from 2004 here), it's not likely to come back. Sadly.

• Kiosk mode in IE

• Kiosk mode in Opera

(all of these require setting up on the client's machine)
