Hello...

SCENARIO:
=========
I have a webpage that is intentionally called from another website and puts
my page in a frame.  I've been able to remove the frame using javascript.

My page fits exactly in 800x600.  When I was making the page, I had F11
(full screen) on, so I could get the entire screen.

NOW...
not everyone uses F11.  Sooo...  I've been trying to simulate pressing F11.

Solution:
I made two web pages.  The first one (main.html) is called by the other
website's frame.  this first website breaks out of the frames and then opens
a second web page fullscreen.  A timer closes this first window.

The second window (main-new.html) does all the work and has a close button
which does a window.close.

PROBLEM:
Well, I don't like using a launcher webpage, but it's no biggie.  The
problem is this - For some reason, it launches TWO COPIES of the second web
page.  Both are maximized and by clicking on the close button (twice - once
for each page), they both go away, but what am I doing wrong to make two
copies of
the second open???

Thanks in advance!!
