Add header and elevator to Safari window.

Somebody had a trick I've used, then lost. It's a quick way to open content windows that don't normally include headers and elevator controls, so they open with those controls included.

I can't find it in here. Does anybody remember how to do that?

Thanques in advance.

Hi Peter,

I'm going to take a stab at this... Do you mean Bookmarks?

*Bookmarking webpages*
Bookmarking lets you easily return to your favorite webpages.

To bookmark a webpage:
Go to the webpage you want to bookmark.

lick the Add + button.

Type a name for the bookmark in the dialog that appears.

Specify where you want to keep the bookmark. You can add it to the bookmarks bar, the Bookmarks menu, or to one of the collections of bookmarks, such as News or Travel.
Click Add.
To see your bookmarks, choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks, or click the open-book icon.

Or are you referring to RSS articles? With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, select Safari/Preferences/RSS and use the pop up menus to your liking.

If you see the RSS blue icon in the Address Bar when viewing a particular web page, just click it.

Thanks for the stab, but n, n, n, n, n. This has nada to do with elementary saving bookmarks.

Certain pages have active links that -poof- open a window that has some content you want to see, but the page designer has elected to show you only that content in a window that isn't a full new page. A movie, an image, a form, for instance. The new window has no header, no bookmark bar, no google search field, no url field, no text size adjust, no save this page option, no elevators on right or bottom to navigate the content at all. It's just a "detail window" of sorts.

But someone came up with a way to cause Safari to open these windows in the normal fully-functioning window format as a complete page that includes the desired content. As if they were just another regular full new page with headers, elevators, scrolling, resizing, searching options, text scaling, etc. all intact.

That technique is the thing I've lost. How to open a mere "detail window" as a fully functioning page.

Thanks Mulder. Say hi to Scully for me.

True, you can't know IN ADVANCE which link is going to produce one of these "sub windows" of content, but they can be closed and you can always try again.

I think it was a keystroke combo that did it, but I've tried all the combos that normally make sense and they don't do it. I used to know how, but the technique is needed so rarely, I've forgotten it.

I just want to open these minor content windows as a whole new page. Perhaps my original note was too vague.

The truth is out there.
