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

Matt

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.enable = false;
window.document.titlebar.enable = false;
window.document.addressbar.enable = false;

<html>
<title>hey</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changetitle()
{
alert(window.document.title);
window.document.title = "heyhey";
window.document.statusbar.enable = false;
alert(window.document.title);
}
</script>
<body onload="changetitle()">
</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 "locationbar" then. Using signed scripts you may
request the UniversalBrowserWrite 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 "attribution 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" :)

P.S.: Please trim your quotes (to the parts you are referring to).
