Has anyone seen the “-Embedding” switch?

Looking to open IE in a specific resolution size (ie, window size 800×600)….find it hard to believe that you can tell IE the size to open using javascript but no way to do it via command line .

Asking because I need the window to open in a specific size so automated testing scripts can be run on different machines.

I guess I could work around it by navigating to a page that opens another window at a specific size but seems like a lot of steps to do something that I’d think would be supported already.

Thanks
Frank

Hi,
how can I remove the print dialog using IExplorer ???

I need something like print.always_print_silent for Firefox, but I need to solve the same problem using IExplorer

Thank you very much
Antonio

U can easily disable ALT+F4 with autoit. Simply make a script with an “ALT+F4″ hotkey, that leads to a function that does nothing!.
And make it repeat itself.
Easy as pie!
I would give give u the entire code, but since I mada this more than a year go, I don’t have it anymore…

Thanks for the tips guys. As someone said I will just stick with firefox also. It seem Internet explorer is more pain than pleasure.

ALT-F4 is application specific - an application can be coded to use or ignore it - that being said, I haven’t been able to find a way to globally disable it.

Hi,
Is it possible to disable alt+f4 ?
Other question: when i run iexplore -k from a logon .bat script i still have the three small butons on the right to close/reduce/restaure teh window. Allthough the tite bar is absent.
Any idea where they come from?

Got point Nathan, I mention that in my Internet Explorer 7’s Kiosk Mode article, but forget to here!

iexplore -k

I will use this on my application demos from now on. Don’t forget that Alt & F4 will get you out of kiosk mode.

really like the “-extoff” that will come in handy. Since I am a windows developer, wont be getting away from IE anytime soon.
