    javascript to disable the title bar, status bar, and address bar of a window

    I want to disable the title bar, status bar and address bar of a
    window, but I couldn't find the syntax. I tried the following but not
    working. any ideas??

    window.document .statusbar.enab le = false;
    window.document .titlebar.enabl e = false;
    window.document .addressbar.ena ble = false;

    <html>
    <title>hey</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function changetitle()
    {
    alert(window.do cument.title);
    window.document .title = "heyhey";
    window.document .statusbar.enab le = false;
    alert(window.do cument.title);
    }
    </script>
    <body onload="changet itle()">
    </body>
    </html>

      Yes. Stop trying to hide something JS has no control over (unless it
      opens a new window).

          Remove ".document" and replace "enable" with "visible" to make it work
          in Netscape 6.x (IIRC) and some Mozilla/5.0 nightly builds. Except of
          the title bar, which only the window manager has control over.
          "addressbar " must be "locationba r" then. Using signed scripts you may
          request the UniversalBrowse rWrite privilege to modify the properties in
          recent Mozilla/5.0, too.

                  You haven't told us what the problem is.
                  You've asked how to do some things that you shouldn't be trying to do.
                  What problem are you trying to solve?

                      It's always a pleasure to read a response which answers the question. Even if
                      it is not exhaustive. It's much better then, "don't."

                          Please do not write so-called "attributio n novels". The name of the
                          precursor's author is sufficient to follow the discussion. The e-mail
                          address in the From header is often of little use as it is used as a
                          spam(mer) trap (could be a tarpit and the like; as opposed to one in
                          the Reply-To header). The message ID of the precursor is contained in
                          the References header of the followup. Two or more lines interfere
                          with flow of reading, especially with several quotation levels.

                          Actually, if you read it thoroughly, it *was* a "don't" :)
