Is it possible to open the parent window without any toolbars. Ie, type in the url io the address bar the webpage appears without any tool bars, not pop up windows.

If I understand what you would like to do ... it can't be done. But you could make the 'opening' html file include an onLoad statement that would fire up a new window that was what you described.

Opening the parent window without any controls is not possible, thankfully. By doing so, you would be messing with things that are frankly none of your business, and not your right to mess with.

Those will help you with pop-up windows that AREN'T the main browser window.
