Hi,

I'm working on a subsystem which uses a bit of javascript, So I don't need a window to pop up when I call my functions.Even though I do set the following to zero in my browse() call:

can_resize
titlebar
size=0x0

a rectangle with two buttons(albeit very small buttons) still shows up, I put this in the howto section in case there's some specific layout option for browser windows, or some other way this is handled, otherwise please move it to bug reports.

a screen shot can be found

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for all the help, I've found a workaround for this via byond's layout system, it isn't graceful but It'll suffice.

If you're trying not to make a window pop-up, then wouldn't you just not set the window parameter?
Note: I'm not sure what that's a picture of...

Hey, thanks, but thats exactly what I'm referring to when I mention that I set those parameters to zero, because you do so through the window parameter, the link points to image shack, so unlike the idiot who first posted, it doesn't contain a virus, just a larger version of the thumbnail so you can see the artifact I'm talking about.

I know, I just don't know what that's a picture of.
I mean in the browse() proc, if you don't put "window=someword" in the second argument, then it will simply open it in the default browser. (Instead of a pop-up.)

Hi,

sorry about that, the window in the background with a blank screen is just an example world i made to illustrate this problem I'm having, what you see circled in red is the browser window that just won't disappear.

Setting display=0 might work.

Hi,

Thanks, that go rid of the window artifact, but in doing so it also disregarded all the other parameters meaning the embedded browser was used instead of a pop-up window, and the html content wasn't even processed.

Why don't you explain exactly what you're trying to do, instead of leaving us guessing.
