Run HTML page in Windows window like exe

Question

I have an HTML quiz (it is designed in html+css, but calculated and animated in JavaScript). Therefore, it opens in browser by default (quiz.html). I want to make it open in for example Windows window or something different. Is it possible. Or some portable browser, and set up HTML file to open by it. How?

The problem is that browser environment (bookmarks, forward, refresh buttons) is visible, and I don't want that. I want it to open in its specific environment, because it will be placed on 20 computers with different browsers etc... I can install anything on those machines. Or is it maybe possible to set up my quiz.html file to open in some other unpopular browser with no so many buttons and details?

Answer 1

Like said in comment, you might try to open your page in a pop.

With the following code, I manage to get a popup without anything but the page and the address bar (on Firefox Potable).

window.open("http://www.w3schools.com","width=200,height=100",'directories=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no');

You would still have the adress bar in Firefox, but this can be remove following this post: Open new popup window without address bars in firefox & IE

Answer 2

If restricting your users to IE is ok then you want an HTML Application (*.HTA) which allows the hosting of HTML/Script in a standalone non-browser window which would seem to be ideal for your purposes.
