Open new popup window without address bars in firefox & IE
I know this is a very old question, yes, I agree we can not hide address bar in modern browsers, but we can hide the url in address bar (e.g show url about:blank), following is my work around solution.
var iframe = '<html><head><style>body, html {width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0}</style></head><body><iframe src="https://www.w3schools.com" style="height:calc(100% - 4px);width:calc(100% - 4px)"></iframe></html></body>';
var win = window.open("","","width=600,height=480,toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes");
win.document.write(iframe);
Workaround - Open a modal popup window and embed the external URL as an iframe.
Firefox 3.0 and higher have disabled setting location by default. resizable and status are also disabled by default. You can verify this by typing `about:config' in your address bar and filtering by "dom". The items of interest are:
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.location
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.status
You can get further information at the Mozilla Developer site. What this basically means, though, is that you won't be able to do what you want to do.
One thing you might want to do (though it won't solve your problem), is put quotes around your window feature parameters, like so:
window.open('/pageaddress.html','winname','directories=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350');
Check the mozilla documentation on window.open. The window features ("directory=...,...,height=350") etc. arguments should be a string:
window.open('/pageaddress.html','winname',"directories=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350");
Try if that works in your browsers. Note that some of the features might be overridden by user preferences, such as "location" (see doc.)
