Is there a way to disable the status bar in iPhone web apps? I'm working on something that requires a fixed, fullscreen view, and the status bar is rather annoying.

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

Even after installing to the home screen, this doesn't work.

"If content is set to yes, the web application runs in full-screen mode; otherwise, it does not. The default behavior is to use Safari to display web content. You can determine whether a webpage is displayed in full-screen mode using the window.navigator.standalone read-only Boolean JavaScript property. http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/appleapplications/reference/safarihtmlref/articles/metatags.html

This definition of "fullscreen" does not hide the status bar. window.navigator.standalone = true, and the status bar persists.

This is not possible.
