pop-up status bar/Firefox

on pop-up, which I have scripted to not show status bar, status bar
still shows up in Firefox. Any way to get Firefox to open pop-ups w/o
status bar at the bottom? thank you.. Frances

Sure. You already did.
Firefox just lets us specify that we don't want you to do such a thing.
If you want to allow it in YOUR browser:

Tools -> Options -> Web Features
Advanced (button)
Allow scripts to:
(uncheck) hide status bar

You can't force it in MY browser.

/ thank you firefox!

thank you kaeli!

I know pop-ups have become "politicall y incorrect" in this
newsgroup...;) however, this is not for me personally, but at work, for
our very demanding corporate clients (for whom we do webcasts, which are
seen/heard mostly internally by their employees..)

thanks again.. Frances

Always remember to specify on these groups if your stuff is for an intranet
application.
There is more leeway for putzing with things on an intranet, since you
usually know a lot more about your clients than on the WWW.

The comments I posted stand, however -- you still can't force it in Firefox.
Make your clients use MSIE like everyone else. LOL
(or just put a notice about it on your stuff and let them enable status
hiding if they don't want to see the status bar)

If they're REALLY dumb and can't figure these things out, use a div that
mimics a window instead of an actual window object.

thank you again, kaeli.. technically they're not really intranets..
some of them are watched (or listened to, if they're audio-only) by
people from a bunch of countries simultaneously. . until recently we
were supporting only IE, but we just started supporting Netscape,
Mozilla and FF, so have been busy re-coding a lot of stuff.. this
window.status thing is a pain, you know, b/c I'm sure you know when you
mouse over a link it puts code for link in status bar and well, it shows
long string of javascript code and stuff... so: more coding I guess...
(onmouseover="w indow.status=.. ." etc..) thanks again..

LOL
Yeah, just don't forget that firefox can turn that off, too. ;)
I have changing status text disabled because some sites use it to obfuscate
where links are actually going.

To fix this, stop coding javascript in href in links (don't fix a problem by
adding yet more problems with mouseovers)! That's not what href should be
used for, anyway.

<a href="somenoscr iptpage.html" onClick="theScr iptStuff();retu rn false;">link
</a>

There, now your script won't show up in the status bar.

Yes, of course it does. Stupid question.

But it does mean something to many users. I like to be told that a
click will open a link in a new window (as Safari tells me) or that a
link will run some JavaScript (as many browsers tell me).

The real issues are: is it practical to remove such functionality
from all users for all browsers in all cases, and whether doing so
(if it is possible) actually provides a benefit to the users.

I would think the answer to both is 'no', but you may do (or attempt
to do) whatever you wish.

In the recent "transforming a list into a string" thread, we've been discussing the fact that list.pop() is O(1), but list.pop(0) is O(n). I decided to do a little timing experiment. To be sure, I did verify experimentally the expected result, but along the way, I came upon an interesting artifact that I'm at a loss to explain. I used the following to generate some timing numbers for pop() on various sized lists: import time

Howdy Folks, I was just playing around in IDLE at the interactive prompt and typed in dir({}) for the fun of it. I was quite surprised to see a pop method defined there. I mean is that a misnomer or what? From the literature, pop is supposed to be an operation defined for a stack data structure. A stack is defined to be an "ordered" list data structure. Dictionaries in Python have no order but are sequences. Now, does anyone know...
