URL display in title bar UNWANTED

heather.memmel

I don't know if it was some kind of "upgrade" in a recent Windows SP
but, I now have a problem...When ever I have JavaScript open a new
window the URL is displayed in the title bar prior to the title, this
is really just an aesthetic problem but seems to be fixed if I set the
new window property of location to yes, but I then get an ugly url
title bar in my new window. Does anyone know how to disable that
"feature" or even what I am talking about. It just annoys me.

It can't be fixed, it is a security feature for new windows opened
without an address bar. It helps users identify malicious sites that
open new windows without an address bar and mimic other legitimate
sites. A quick look at the titlebar and the user can usually determine
if you really are at the site they want to be at.

Firefox 1.0.2 and Mozilla 1.7.6 exhibit this behaviour as well.

It is a good thing and can not be overridden by client-side authors
(unless you include "location=1 " in your window.open() attribute list).

Off-by-one error in display

Hi, I am currently writing PHP code for some polling software. When someone votes, it stores their IP address in the database.

When it is 0, the poll is "active" and can be voted upon. When it is 1, it is archived and one can only view the results. But, there seems to be...

Select items from rss feed to display

by: Zaphod | last post by:

greetings! My question is this; I have a rss news feed up and running on a website, but I would like to sift through the 30-40 items provided and display only the ones with a certian word in the title. For example in the following snippet of an rss feed I would like to display only the 2nd and 3rd items because they contain the word "Bush" in the title(sort of a regex type of search).
