[WEB4LIB] Can I open a new browser window with toolbar hidden without using

[pverhagen at sapl.ab.ca]

Um... Are you sure you can't use javascript to pass the information 
while also using javascript to create a 'chromless' window? 

Although I admit I haven't passed form information in that fashion, I 
have used a 'chromeless' browser form to input information into a 
new 'chromeless' browser window, the purpose being passing the 
form information into PHP and then into a database. Perchance 
you might want the form also in a chromeless window?

Sorry, I Can't think of anything else,
