Thanks, Jim. I don't think that'll work for us, but it's an interesting idea. I think one of the other problems is that by default, Firefox opens new windows in a new *tab*, thwarting the attempt to avoid the chrome. I think the onbeforeunload idea might work--we're actually already doing some other cleanup with that handler, so hopefully this should be straightforward. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com

Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:52:11 -0000 Your other choice is to have your entire application opened in a new, separate browser window, but with the browser 'chrome' & history turned off. In that case, users cannot accidentally navigate away from the application, because there _is no_ navigation history to begin with. Of course not everyone likes the idea of opening new browser windows, so this technique may not be useful everywhere.
