Hiding address bar in all browsers [duplicate]

Question

I need to hide the address bar of all browsers through my JavaScript code. Is it possible to do?

Here is my code:

window.open("displayPdf.php?mnth="+mnth+"&year="+year+"&val="+newVal);
    dom.disable_window_open_feature.location
    dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
    dom.disable_window_open_feature.status

Answer 1

This is no longer possible in modern browsers due to security restrictions.

Official(-ish) Sources:

• Firefox

  In Firefox 3, dom.disable_window_open_feature.location now defaults to true, forcing the presence of the Location Bar much like in IE7. See bug 337344 for more information.

• Internet Explorer 7 and later

  In Internet Explorer 6, location specifies whether to display the Address Bar.

  (Implying the behaviour ends with IE6)

• Chrome/Chromium

  Those toolbar hiding parameters are ignored in Chrome. You will also notice that modern browsers are moving towards not hiding it as security / anti phishing measures. Also see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337344
