How do I create a chromeless window?

We used to be able to use javascript in IE to produce a chromeless window...no buttons, scrollbars or even the standard edges of the browser window.

My question: Is there any way to accomplish this type of window look from the web with today's browsers?

Chromeless windows are possible with OOB (out of browswer) silverlight apps in Silverlight 4. Below is a link a with a video with code and a video demonstrating how it looks and works.

Nope, and because it was abandoned for security reasons (exploit example from 2004 here), it's not likely to come back. Sadly.
