I'm trying to hide the explorer bars, I occasionally see them when a page is launched in kiosk mode.
I call the script first thing when the page is loading. When I call the script function, I still see the explorer bars.
Is this script correct I'm I running the script at at the correct time
function fn_HideBrowserBars() {
var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
// Favorites
objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{EFA24E61-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}", false);
// folders
objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{EFA24E64-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}", false);
// History
objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{EFA24E62-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}", false);
// Search
objShell.ShowBrowserBar("{30D02401-6A81-11d0-8274-00C04FD5AE38}", false);
}
Thanks..

<div id="flashcontent">

<script type="text/javascript">

Yup, your right it is a permissions problem on the first ShowBrowserBar command. I restarted the browser with the debugger enabled and it pops right up with a "permissions denied" error. When I reload the page the error doesn't display.
I have the web page in IE's "trusted" list, I also tried the "local" list, same problem. The first command in the function closes the favorites bar, I make sure the favorites bar is opened in case it doesn't know what I talking about, no change.
In this page I'm loading a flash application, I removed all the other stuff, but again there is no difference "Permission denied".
I moved to W2K and EI6 the same thing happens. I know I missing something obvious.
Any suggestions
-thnks
