How do i hide status bar ??

Zeebo_2

Hi there, im creating a site and would like the status bar at the bottom not to be present.

how do i do this?

Even opening a new window with no status bar would be acceptable.

Anbody care to help me ?

This is what im trying :

<input type="button" value="Open Window"
onclick="window.open('http://www.Mysite.com'),status=no"&gt;
</form>

It opens the link in a new window but the status bar is still there

You can use Javascript to hide any status bar messages - window.status = "" - I think that could be IE only though.

Else, if you want to open a popup with window.open you can use status=0 as one of the arguments, which hides it altogether.

Zeebo, try this (you just posted as I did)...

onClick="window.open('My site.com',status=0)"

Status bar still shows on new window

Oops sorry think it should have quotes around it...

onClick='window.open("My site.com","status=0")'

If that doesn't work then it may be some security thing stopping it working.

<FORM>
<p align="center">
<INPUT type="button" value="Button" onClick="window.open('Mysite.com','Title','status=no')">
</p>
</FORM>

The above works using the title as the second parameter.

You can also use

menubar=no,scrollbars=no,titlebar=no,width=250,height=300

they should all be specified within the third parameter in the above example.
