Hi All,

I have a modal dialog which worked just perfect for me in IE6.0 with the given width and height. But in IE7.0, there seems to be a address bar and status bar appearing which hides some lower contents in the window.

The address and status bar can be get rid by enabling a Miscellaneous security option in IE7.0.
But from a programmers perspective how do I take care of the same?

Is there js code available to detect the above mentioned setting?

How do I tackle this problem?

Thanks,
Mike.

There is no way, nor should there be, for script to affect the security settings of the browser.

The answer is no. It is for your security when you go out on the web and goto some random site. If you do not want to see it, in IE7 you can go into your own computers setting and remove that option to show the bar. There is no way to do it with code, just manual labor.
