Following are some of the most asked questions from actual users of MICROBIANS CHROMELESS WINDOWS.


HOW DO I USE DIFFERENT PAGES IN DIFFERENT WINDOWS?

Use diferent n values for each different window in the function:

openIT(u,W,H,X,Y,n)

So the calls:

mywin1=openIT('p1.html',200,200,null,null,'mywin1')
mywin2=openIT('p2.html',200,200,null,null,'mywin2')

would open two different windows.



HOW TO CHANGE OF PAGE FROM THE OPENER WINDOW

For example if the window was created with:

mywin1=openIT('p1.html',200,200,null,null,'mywin1')

we can change to the p2.html page using:

mywin1.setURL('p2.html').



HOW DO I OPEN A WINDOW FROM FLASH?

In order to open a window from flash, take a look to the example launch_flash5.html included inside the ZIP file and the launch.fla in the SWF folder, also found in the ZIP file.

In the HTML file you can see that the openIT is changed to openIT4FLASH. Because the Flash function does not return the JavaScript object of the window, it is better to use the openIT4FLASH with Flash application. The action script to use in Flash to open a window is:

getURL("javascript:openIT4FLASH('p1.html',400,400, null, null, 'mywin1')")

For Flash, this will work the same way as the regular openIT function.



HOW DO I USE SPECIAL CHARACTER'S CODES IN A TITLE?

For special character’s code like Ñ or tilded chars the better way is to use coding such as: @ or À. To find the particular character coding you desire, please rely upon information about "ISO Latin-1 Character Set".


HOW DO I SCROLL, OR CEASE A SCROLL FUNCTION?

In order to eliminate scroll in the MICROBIANS CHROMELESS WINDOWS compatible browsers, use a style sheet like:

  <style>
    body { overflow:hidden }
  </style>

in the head of every html page or scroll=no in the body tag of the pages where you want to have no scroll.

But if you want to make all pages "no scroll" you can use also the fSO ='scrolling=no noresize' variable of the openIT function. This variable controls rendering of the main frame.

There is a similiar control for non MICROBIANS CHROMELESS WINDOWS compatible browsers with the wNS variable in the openIT function. For example we can add scroll for Netscape with:

var wNS ='scrollbars=1'

inside the openIT fuction.
