It didn't work here on my Mozilla Firebird... :sigh: Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable. It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski

Nothing works with that firebird thingy..:rolleyes: /Magnus

The sources help a lot. But at least, the patches on the Firebird project are made available very quickly, typically under 48h.

Right ... it's an IE "feature" where you can open a new window (or windows) in fullscreen mode which removes all of the "chrome" (toolbars, menubars, statusbar, titlebar ... everything) of a normal browser window. This can then be resized so it no longer takes up the full screen and you can do anything with it you like ... malicious if you so choose. Definitely a potential security hazard ... if a person with little computer knowledge came to a site that opens itself into full screen mode they may not even know how to close the window (with Alt+F4) or get even back to their desktop.

You see these chromeless windows a lot on sites like msnbc.com, tvguide.com and to a lesser extent in some of the msn.com areas usually with flash content. One that REALLY annoyed me was on tvguide.ccom a few weeks ago. The banner ads would activate one of the chromeless windows when you did a rollover (not a click - A ROLLOVER) and they placed the little close X so it overlapped another banner ad. So you accidentally rollover the top ad activating the flash ad and when you tried to close it, you would automatically active the right side ad which would cause another flash ad to appear. :mad::mad::mad: Steve

IIRC, this 'feature' will be severely restricted in XP Service Pack 2 (and, I assume, the version of IE6 that ships with it will be released generally). See Changes to Functionality in XP Service Pack 2[^] and search for Internet Explorer Pop-up Window Placement.

Legacy OSes have reached their zenith with the addition of IE 6 SP1. Further improvements to IE will require enhancements to the underlying OS.

I think they changed their collective mind. Signs are that there is an active Internet Explorer team, and there will be new versions of IE for older systems. Part of it is probably that Longhorn has been pushed out to at least 2006. Robert Scoble mentioned a dinner with the IE team lead[^] last month.
