SYMPTOMSWhen attempting to run a script in Internet Explorer versions 3.02 and 4.0 that references the Explorer property on the document object, the following error occurs:
CAUSEThe Explorer property was removed from the HTML scripting object model. STATUSThis behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION
Prior to version 3.02 of Internet Explorer, the Explorer property was an
undocumented property of the HTML Scripting Object Model document object.
While the Explorer property has been used in some cases in a positive way
by content providers, it is possible to use it in ways that lead to a
negative experience for the end-user. An example of this can be illustrated
using the explorer.fullscreen property. An end-user viewing a page that
kicks the browser into full-screen (kiosk) mode may lack the technical
experience to regain control of the browser and may end up having to
reboot.
explorer.fullscreen -Internet Explorer can be started in kiosk mode by launching the browser with the -k command line option. This is the only option for running the browser in kiosk mode.To simulate kiosk mode, however, adapt the following code:
Upon loading the HTML above Internet Explorer 3.02 executes the script
immediately. The script loads the specified URL into a new maximized window that contains no menu bar, toolbar, or status bar. The initial window that
executed the script is closed.
explorer.top, left, height, and width -Another instance of the browser can be opened in a position specified in the window.open method:
explorer.statusbar, menubar, and toolbar -Another instance of the browser can be opened with or without the control bars present:
explorer.goforward -
explorer.goback -
explorer.locationurl -
explorer.locationname -
explorer.navigate(<url>,navNoHistory) -
explorer.fullname or explorer.path -
explorer.refresh and refresh2 -
Microsoft has determined that there is no script-based workaround for
executing the following methods or retrieving the values of the following
properties:
The properties and methods can then be accessed as follows:
