Closing Explorer Menu in IE9 Popup

[Tech Manager]

I am looking for a script that will close the left column Explorer style menu in IE9 when opening a popup link. Currently the Explorer menu carries over to the popup.

Any suggestions?

Not sure completely, but maybe Active X might the technology you are looking for? I think I could be wrong on that though. It might be a security issue of sorts to allow a webpage to interact with the appearance of the web browser itself without asking the user to download a plug-in or install an application.

This might work, not sure(It is oldish): https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.open

1
var windowObjectReference;
2
var strWindowFeatures = "menubar=yes,location=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes";
view sourceprint?
1
function openRequestedPopup()
2
{
3
  windowObjectReference = window.open("http://www.cnn.com/",
4
"CNN_WindowName", strWindowFeatures);
5
}
1
var windowObjectReference;
2
 
3
function openRequestedPopup()
4
{
5
  windowObjectReference = window.open("http://www.domainname.ext/path/ImageFile.png",
6
                  "DescriptiveWindowName",
7
                  "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes");
8
}

If you define the strWindowFeatures parameter, then the features that are not listed, requested in the string will be disabled or removed (except titlebar and close which are by default yes).

This is specific to IE9:

function popUp(url) {
  day = new Date();
  id = day.getTime();
  eval("page" + id + " = window.open(url,'" + id + "','_blank','toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=600,height=520,left = 400,top = 200');");
  return false;
}

Maybe include "explorerbar=0"?
