[QUOTE="gryphontech, post: 855438, member: 104298"] Hello, I am writing a web-based app that needs to launch a modal browser window (no toolbar, no address bar, etc) from an applescript file. the pc side uses a .vbs file to do the same thing. I can do it with applescript and "System Events" : tell application "Safari" activate make new document with properties {URL:"http://IPADDRESS/default.aspx"} do JavaScript ("self.resizeTo(500,480);") in document 1 tell application "System Events" keystroke "B" using {command down, shift down} keystroke "/" using command down keystroke "|" using command down end tell end tell But this affects the entire Safari application so new windows opened by the user appear the same way. I need it to only affect the window that is opened. I tried some JS "toolbar=no" type commands but it did not have any effect. I must admit my JS and AS is very basic at this point so it could have been poor syntax.. Can any of you fine folks suggest a way to do this? [/QUOTE]
