My favorite way to keep up with new tricks using HTML and its bastard offspring and JavaScript are to, quite simply, view the source for pages and see how stuff was done.
Netzero completely has me stumped, however. When one logs on to their free service one gets a browser window which opens to a page which then opens a crazy page (CP). This CP is the one whose source I am after.
Normall I just whip up a quick HTML page with links to the page in question and choose “save target as” to download the HTML and all the goodies therein.
Netzero has me utterly stumped, however, as their initial page is ALL JavaScript, and seems to be inexorably linked with cookies, logon locations, and other assorted things.
Upshot: I cannot view the source for the CP.
One of the things the CP does in particular which I would wonder about is maximize itself on the screen without toolbars. Now, I know that getting rid of the toolbars and menubars require signed scripts, but it is simple enough to maximize windows: use F11, at least on IE5 (by maximize here I mean something different than ordinary maximize–perhaps I should say “full screen”).
How the heck did they manage that?
Also, any netzero users know how I can view the source for that page? It definitely runs inside IE on my machine, but interestingly it doesn’t even appear on my history list.
I have absolutely no idea where this page comes from.
