Remove Address bar from popup window using Javascript

Question

Is it applicable to remove the address bar from a popup window using javascript ex:

 window.open(url, 'liveMatches', 'width=720,height=800,toolbar=0,location=0, directories=0, status=0, menubar=0');

please advice,

Solution 1

Theoretically, yes. However, as with everything in Javascript, there's no guarantee that any given browser will support it or that the implementation will be consistent across browsers.

This link as well as this link indicate that the location option should control whether or not the Location/Address bar is shown. It should also have relatively good cross-browser support.

Solution 2

use jquery ui (http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/)

or perhaps

window.open(url,'liveMatches','directories=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=720,height=800');

actually

You cannot remove the address bar in modern browsers. That is a security measure. The user must always know what page they are on. Address bar also let user know, what type of security is on that page (HTTP or HTTPS).
