IE doesnt hide status bar on window.open "status=no"

[Ronen Yacov]

Hi There,
I've using IE 7.0.5730.11 on Windows XP.
I want to open a pop up using javascript without showing the status
bar, and to do so I use the function:

function openwindow()
{
window.open("http://www.javascript-
coder.com","mywindow","menubar=1,resizable=1,status=no,width=350,height=250");
}

which was taken from an example.

When activating the function IE opens the pop-up but still shows the
status bar.
Anyone has any idea whats wrong here? How can I hide the status bar?

Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
That's a user selectable option. Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone
(or another zone)> Allow websites to open windows without address or status
bar. I think the default is "disable."
