How to...

[ecnarongi]

control the window.open attributes? well I know window.open('someURL','','width=00,height=00,scrollbars=yes,etc.') but I want to on have one scrollbar. I don't want the horizontal scrollbar, I only want the vertical one. Is it possible to specify which one to show and which one not to show? All help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't believe so.

What you can do is when you open the window, set the windows width and height making sure that your htm is not wider than the width you set.

For example
window.open("sample.htm", "_blank", "width=750,height=500,top=10,left=10,scrollbars=YES,menubar=NO,toolbar=NO");

If the sample.htm is less than the width set(750) then you won't see the bottom scroll bar.

I believe Spookster meant that your subject (How to...) was not very descriptive...

Here is another link about that. (http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2090)


Regarding your question:

I don't think you can control it when opening a new window.
You can do an ugly thing like putting everything in div on the page you open, and set the
style="overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:scroll" on the div tag...

The nicer way though, is to do what Frank suggested..
