When you use window.open, you can set titlebar to no or 0, but it is usually ignored, see link.

The alternative is to create a draggable div instead of a popup.

Welcome to TSDN!

Do not use showModalDialog - it is only supported by IE.

There's no option to disable the close button, see the documentation.

If you want this functionality, create your own draggable DHTML pseudo-popup.

hi ...

in case you want to call a javascript function before closing the window you may use the 'onbeforeunload '-event ... normally i think this is the typical reason to want to have the close-button disabled ... so you may capture the closing of the window and may do something you want in that case ...

kind regards
