Starting a Session without the IE Toolbar
PASSPORT Web to Host
TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60
I have followed the instructions for turning off toolbars, but when I disable the IE Toolbar, the administrator automatically disables the IE address bar and menu bar as well. What if I want to turn off the IE toolbar, but keep the IE menu bar and address bar?
You can launch a session with the IE Toolbar disabled and the IE menu bar and address bar enabled using JavaScript. The following is an example of an html page that uses JavaScript to launch a PASSPORT Web to Host session with the IE toolbar disabled:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function LaunchNoToolbar()
{
window.open ('http://localhost/pec/Ecomes.asp?sessionprofile=3270dsp/Sessions/SessionName', '_blank', config='toolbar=no')
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:LaunchNoToolbar()">Launch PASSPORT Session</a>
</body>
</html>
This script will only work as expected in versions of IE prior to version 7. IE version 7 has disallowed the ability to disable the command bar.
Even more of the screen can be utilized by turning off all Internet Explorer toolbars. This can be taken one step further by using the Internet Explorer "Full Screen" feature (F11), which will enable the entire screen as the emulator window.
