    Hiding the URL-line

    I have an application, where I need to hide the URL-address line.
    How do I do that?

    Re: Hiding the URL-line

    window.open has a feature parameter setting location = yes|no will determine if the addressbar appears.
    However Mozilla based browsers can be set to force it to always appear and IE7 wont let you hide it at all.

    Re: Hiding the URL-line

    I have tried this code, but it opens a new window. I have a redirect from my site www.xxx.com to www.yyy.com. I want www.yyy.com to appear without opening a new window and without the URL. Is that possible?


    window.open ("http://www.javascript-coder.com",
    "mywindow","location=0,status=1,scrollbars=1,
    width=100,height=100");

    I'm 99% certain that it's not possible to hide the address bar without opening a new window.

    And why would you want to do this? What exactly do you have to hide?

    Well, I have a test server, I run for my client. But unfortunately the client's server is not up and running so we redirect the client URL to my testserver, and the client does not want to show my test server URL

    You cannot hide the URL. In IE 7 it shows the URL in all popups. In Fx, the user can prevent the site from not displaying the address bar.
