hello

i have always been able to eliminate the stus bar from under the browser window.. but i did some windows upgrade and since then the security thing that installed makes the status bar on the bototm appear on all my webpages i make hide the status bar..

i was wondering if anyone out there knows the best way to eliminate the status bar from the browser window

thanks for your time

In IE, select View - and untick Status Bar

If you dont visitors to see the status bar, the only way I know of is to load a pop up window and disable the status bar in the pop up window settings...As per here

Bravo thank you for your reply...

this is the thing.. i been doing this for a while now.. but it seems this update changes everything.. the code i been using for the pop up is this...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=400');");
}
// End -->
</script>

as you can see on these sites i've designed and it still shows it

www.Ross305.com
www.RobFrankMusic.com
www.CoolnDre.com

before they wouldn't show it.. now it does.. also look at the title bar up in the browser .. it shows the URL which i don't like

It looks like it should work, but security (such as disabling the ability to hide the status bar) is a client-side setting usually, so there's not really anything you can do.

Ditto to what Chroder said...

Also...some people distrust sites that hide important things like the status bar and file menus (a.k.a. me). I hate sites that do this, and I have it set in firefox to not allow sites to do this.

Ditto to what prissed said

it's an artist sites that pop up.. i odn't have that on any other type of sites.. it just looks ugly when you have a status bar in the pop up.. but whatever.. thanks anyways

I looked at your site without the feature disabled, and it still didn't work. So I Google'd the window.open syntax, and everywhere I go they use status=0, not statusbar. Try that.

same thing.. thanks anyways.. really appreciate your time

I personally hate it when designers try to hijack my browser for their asthetics. First it was colored scrollbars in IE, then it was "Hey, let's disable their status bar." It's ok for little popup windows and such, but not for a full browser window. Bleh.
