[Javascript] opening window

[Rodney Myers]

Ben,

As ever, I look forward to being proved wrong in this list, as has happened
before and will happen again. That is much of what makes the list worthwhile,
in my opinion.

In the Wrox "Professional Javascript" book there is a note in Ch5  'Windows and
Frames' on page 163

"The title bar and its close and resize icons are added by the computer's
operating system, not the browser, and aren't visible inside JavaScript. You're
stuck with them, unless you create an ActiveX control that specifically removes
them"

IE specific scripting can sometimes involve use of ActiveX objects (e.g.
FileSystemObject). Similarly, JAVA applets can also be addressed from
javascripts. Neither are 'part of javascript' - but the distinction becomes
'academic' if it works and does not cause trouble.

Certainly if you have a way to do it I want to see it asap. It would be neat!

Rodney
