Link To Make A Website Hide Itself?

    Hi!

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make a webpage hide itself, i.e minimise to tray, so that it could be brought up later.

    I would like to implement this feature on one of my websites and was wondering if there was a way for the website to hide itself, like above, on the click of a link.

    Thanks, Will

    You can create pop-under windows, but they would be blocked by most browsers, plus they are annoying.

    You could create an element on your page that "minimizes":

    
    <script>
    var isopen=false;
    function openclose() {
    if (isopen == false) {
    
    document.getElementById('myelement').style.display='';
    isopen=true;
    
    }else{
    
    
    document.getElementById('myelement').style.display='none';
    isopen=false;
    
    }
    
    
    }
    </script>
    
    <div id="myelement" style="display:none;">
    
    This is some information.....
    
    
    </div>
    <a href="javascript:openclose();">Open/Close myelement</a>
    
    
    
    Code (markup):
    This is probably not what you are looking for...
    ... but I figured I would try.

    Thanks for trying guys!

    @KYE172 the script isn't working in my IE7 but I'm not after minimising/maximising anyway :)

    @nfd2005 this wasn't actually what I was looking for, but it's given me an idea how to do it a different way! Instead of just hiding the whole window, I could just add that script to hide the information in that window, essentially make it go blank! Excellent! Thanks so much :)
