I am creating web page using asp.net. Is it possible to remove/hide the browsers address bar or toolbar using Javascript for IE.
Nathiya.
No.
It used to be possible to remove these in popups (foul things though popups are), but modern browsers make it impossible to remove the address bar as an anti-phishing measure.
Javascript isn't supposed to change this kind of things.
You could open a pop up window without those things, however.

For example, opening the front page of translate.ru, it contains a lot of banners. But by the Developer Tools in Chrome it's possible to go through the page and tweak CSS in-place (mostly adding 'display: none') and eventually the page looks this way:

So, a question: is there any APIs or existing extensions for Chrome allowing programmatically change DOM/CSS on the page? I saw similar Chrome extensions allowing to tweak Gmail and Google Reader, but it was specifically for those websites.
You can do this using Stylebot.
Is there a simple way to trigger a mobile OS's native pop-up/alert/etc. from some form of web code? I'm writing an ASP.NET mobile web page and I'd like to, for example, have the iPhone's UIAlertView appear.
EDIT: What I'm looking for is not the method with which to detect which mobile browser is accessing the site (I already know how to do that). If the code to trigger a pop-up that will look nice in an Android browser is different than the code to trigger a pop-up that will look nice in an iPhone browser, I can simply throw in a switch statement that redirects the user to the pop-up that corresponds with their browser. I'm trying to find the html/javascript/asp.net code which will create a mobile-friendly pop-up, either in general or for the various popular mobile web browsers specifically.
Don't know whether there is any pre-built functionality in .NET that can achieve this, but you can surely write one yourself.
You can write a method, that returns the code for your popup, based on the user OS (simple switch statement should do).
EDIT after taking a short nap:
I believe you should reconsider using popups. They are quite annoying even on desktop browsers and many people block them automatically. Probably every blog about accessibility will tell you, that you should keep mobile version of your website as simple as possible because of various compatibility issues that you can run into.
Instead, try to think about some interesting way to incorporate messages for users in a different and appealing way, that won't disturb anybody.
What I do is use a div popup (that floats ontop of the page) and eighter make a big close button or set at timeout to remove it.
jquery mobile is a good place to start.
I'm newer in Flex and I would like to disable the Navigation Bar and the bookmarks tab cause I need to show a lot of information so I really need to have as much space as it's possible. I do not know what I can do.
Thanks in advance,
Alicia
Do you mean the navigation and bookmarks in the browser?
Depending on the content of your application, you could potentially use full screen mode, but that has some restrictions around keyboard input (only some keys are allowed such as arrow keys, enter key etc)
Otherwise you may just need to prompt the user to turn their browser to full-screen so that they can see as much of the app as possible.
Browser full-screen/maximise is different from Flash full-screen as all keyboard input is still possible.
As far as I know there wouldn't be a way to actually modify the appearance of the browser from within a Flash application.
Can any one tell how to disable focus to a browser.
Hi i am currently working in .net application and i need to disable the tab focus to browser objects such as toolbars,address bar, since the user will not be using these components often
Thank you
Please don't do this, it breaks what the user expects a webpage to do. Messing with the fundamental behavior breaks several things:
My tab button and where I expect it to go
Screen readers for the disabled
Trust in your application
In some cases, you need to ask why? before asking how?, this is one of those. Anything that behaves differently from the other 99.9999% of the web is broken in the eyes of your user.
Well, I agree with Nick Craver. If you have to disable due to some crap requirements, then try opening a new window without toolbar, editable address bar etc and load the page inside the newly opened window.
While Handheld option is available in CSS then why some people use different subdomain and make different site for mobile?
I second what Justin Niessner said. Also, the mobile version of a site is usually structured differently from the "main page". Other content may be displayed on the front page, an only a selection of menu items, or a whole different menu altogether. Videos have to be embedded differently, images as well, Javascript effects altered and so on. Using different style sheets mostly just won't cut it.
My guess is to make the distinction more apparent to the user.
That, and the Blackberry Browser (and possibly the iPhone) identifies itself as a mobile device (depending on settings)...but could theoretically be able to display the full page. Using CSS, you're also depending a lot on the mobile browser to do the correct thing with your page.
You'll provide a much more reliable interface if you let the user specify the experience, not the site.
