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" :)

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

In an Access 2000 database on some forms 'Calculating...' is continuously displayed in the status bar window and the text of the control is automatically selected. The only workaround is switching to another application and back between each field that data is entered. I have tried this database on pc's that have office 2000 SP1a and SP3. How do investigate what is causing this calculating issue and how do I resolve it?

I couldn't get the status bar to work in Netscape 8.1. The JavaScript settings are set to allow it, but it just ain't no work. Here is a Plain Jane test script.
