u have to write something like this
var wh = "";
function newWindow(){
wh=window.open('/mypage',winname,'toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no,menubar=no,directories=no, width=' + (screen.width * .99) + ',height=' + (screen.height * 0.95) + ',ScreenX=0,ScreenY=0, resizable=yes');

You can not close the orginal window with out an alert do to a security issue. When you close it, you are loosing all of the persons history info of that window. JUST let it be.
For mre options with a window look at this:

ok, i know that it's impossible to close window without alert, so I asked is it possible to make first window without toolbars etc.. i'll try to explain what I want(2 variants):
1. When the user opens a page, it opens right with parameters like in window.open (width,height,toolbars etc..) OR 2. On first page i have login form, and after logging in, page opens with parameters...
as i understand second variant is not very suitable for me because login page is still open and i can't close it without alert.
so im looking for a solution for a first variant..
any ideas?
thx in advance

You can not remove tool bars from the main window

Bottom line is, you can't do it the way you want. Best you can do is to open your page in a new window decorated as you wish and leave the original browser window be (perhaps redirecting somewhere else if appropriate).
And when you stop to think about it, would not your way be mighty unfriendly? Someone browses along, hits your site, clicks a link, and you close the browser window on them. Now if they want to continue surfing, they have to open a new browser instance.
It'd certainly tick me off a bit.

Bear Bibeault , I know about etiquette of browsing sites, this case won't be unfriendly, because this page is not public, and access for it have limited range of people. Im developing web application using java and jsp, for one private company, aim of this application is a virtual warehouse with facilities to invoice and making other docs. my idea just to prevent users, (i think u understand that most of them r lame) from clicking back and forward buttons, thats all
