Hiding Address Bar on Page Load Using JavaScript

 Today , I was playing around of ways of how you can Hide an Address/Tool Bar on a Page Reload. I looked at couple of solutions on the net but nothing seems to be available for IE and Firefox working together. Then I figured it out a way to work it out for both. This is the code I used, to solve my problem.     
 
[js]

function openWindow(){
var browser=navigator.appName;
if (browser==”Microsoft Internet Explorer”)
{
window.opener=self;

}
window.open(‘filename.htm’,’null’,’width=900,height=750,
toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,resizable =yes’);
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height-100);
self.close();
}

[/js] 

[html]

If the window does not open, please turn off the pop-up blocker for this site and click"> here

[/html]
Basically , its invoking two functions when the page is being loaded.
--This will take care of closing the browser in Firefox:v>onload=“window.open(‘’,’_parent’,’‘);openWindow()”> If you simply use the this line onload="openWindow()"  , then the window will not close automatically in Firefox  

 

Edit : A lot of people are having problem implementing this code, may be because of the quote not displaying correctly. To make the life little easier, I have zipped up the code and can be dowloaded from HERE
