Open new popup window without address bars in firefox & IE

Question

Hi everyone, hope someone can help. just cannot get a new window to open in Firefox without address bars. IE works fine with below code

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);

I need to make for all browser

Answer 1

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.)

Answer 2

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');
