Nothing to do with JSP, so moved to the HTML forum.

I think we were unable to hide the bar on a window that's already open, so we launch our application in a new window.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Programmaticaly you can hide the address bar in IE using Javascript but you'll have to open a new window to see the address bar hidden.

If you are using Mozilla or Netscape you can remain on the same window and still hide the address bar, standards buttons bar etc. Please google for the javascript in this case.

Sample code(IE):



If you need to hide the address bar temporarily, just right click on your IE toolbar and uncheck the address bar option.

Use the <body> tag's onload attribute to invoke the function or use the javscript init() function in your script which runs every time your page loads.

pop up windows are blocked by pop up blockers with onload.

Nothing like a 4 year old post being risen from the dead.

With modern day browsers it is impossible because new security practices will not allow the address bar to be hidden. It will be in a read-only type of state so the user can see where the page is located. There is no way around this.

In this day in age, I wonder why people use pop up windows at all. Use a layer on the page with an iframe/ajax to get the content to be displayed.

HI Eric,

well there is always a requirement, actually I am generating a pdf doc and I am displaying the pdf in the pop up (new window). the code below and the code which I have (same code basically) works only in Firefox and chrome but not in IE. In IE it still displays the location (address bar).

when you have a requirement, you need to fulfill it, its not worth asking for a workaround.. if the client is happy you are happy :P

Guess what, you have a requirement that is IMPOSSIBLE. You will not be able to do it in this day in age of modern browsers. Tell your boss it can not be done. If there was a solution, I would tell you.
