Javascript to external program

[almulder]

Dose anyone know how to send an external program instructions using javascript?

Or how to create a html page that is a certain size like 100x100, tht has no boarders, no buttons, or anything of that sort, and to be able to position the window, like a pop up box that can't be closed without using (Alt+F4) and then be able to send javascript commands between 2 windows. Info from one window sent to this window?

If so can you show me how to do any of it.

heres a page that will give you an ideal on javascripting remote controlled windows

http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/remote2.shtml

the only thing i can think of to resize it 100 by 100 and positioning it would be to use some what of an onlick method

example

onClick="window.open('./UserManual/manual.html','mywindow',& #39;width=700,height=400,left=0,top=100,screenX=0,

screenY=100,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,directories=

no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,'); return false"

but as for having it chromless meaning with out having buttons to control its shut down,, i have no clue on how to make one that isnt full screen,, because the only way that i know of to make a window chromless is by using the windows variable fullscreen effect

im no javascript expert im only some one on a quest to learn it better, so thats te best i can do for you,, i hope some of the information helps you alittle

best of luck

Maybe not a whole new .html file but maybe the content in a tag (like <div></div>) that you can show, hide, move almost anywhere with CSS, which could be controlled by the JS (eg.. document.getElementById("div_id").style.top = "100px"?

There's even a way to give this floating window a drop shadow. Check out the popups for Google Maps to see what I mean

You could even get fancy a create some "windows" like the one on this site (login as a Guest ): LFS World

I would need a new windows open, because when wpi closes it will stop playing the music
