How to hide addressbar and toolbar of IE using Javascript?

Could anyone tell how to hide the addressbar and toolbar of the current browser window(IE) using javascript. I am able to do it for new window using window.open().

the below Link can give you a clear idea of the attributes and values of Window.open();

To Hide the AddressBar :
window.open("Sample.htm",null,
"height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");

premnath,
Rose said "Current window" and they could do it with the "window.open()"!

Rose,
You can not remove toolbars from the current window. Only way is through a pop up window.

Thank you verymuch Premnath and Eric. As Eric said I was able to do it using window.open already. But the popup blocker was the one which I prefered to get rid off and also it was better if I could do it with the current window. When I try to close the parent window after opening the popup, both windows are getting closed sometimes. And also I am not able to maximise the new window.

The code I tried is,

window.opener=self;

window.open('b.html','null','width=1000,height=750,top=0,left=0,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no,resizable=yes');

window.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);

self.close();

Could anyone suggest a solution?

How unfriendly.

What is it you are really trying to accomplish? Aside from annoying your users.

Hi all my friends,

I am extremely sorry for that.

Bear Bibeault, Thank you very much for pointing it out.

Rose and prem,

I have corrected the display name.
