Netscape Communicator's enhanced canvas mode lets Netscape Navigator 4.0 support true kiosk applications by displaying pages without any browser toolbars, menus, or borders. This feature lets developers create kiosk applications like those already found in malls and airports and design pages that will immerse and guide the user.
To view the Stella Chelsea layers demo in canvas mode, you must launch Navigator 4.0 with a -tb command line switch. To do this, modify the Navigator 4.0 shortcut (use a right mouse-button click to choose properties) by adding a -tb after "netscape.exe."
window.open('pageURL',
'windowName','titlebar=no,left=-1,top=-1,
Note that values for screen width and screen height must be specified.
Future versions of Navigator 4.0 will provide properties for determining
these values and will also replace the list of features specified above
with a new attribute using the following code:
window.open('pageURL', 'windowName', 'type=fullWindow');
In Netscape Communicator Preview Release 2, canvas mode can be enabled only by a special command line switch for the Windows platform. In addition, running the browser with canvas mode enabled may be insecure. In future releases and in the final version, enhanced canvas mode will require signed JavaScript, but will not require Communicator to be started in a special
mode.
