Service Pack 2 for Windows XP changes the behaviour of the various
Security zones in Internet Explorer. demo.creationsite.com is most
likely in your Intranet zone, where Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 does
_not_ add the URL to the titlebar.
www.greatlakesbrewing.com is most
likely in your Internet zone, where Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 in it's
default configuration _does_ add the URL to the titlebar.
There is _nothing_ you can do about this, it is a security feature added
to Internet Explorer in Windows XP Service Pack 2 to allow people to see
at a glance that the link they clicked on which opened a new window that
navigated to
http://ww**********@somemalicioussite.com is not ebay.com,
but in fact is somemalicioussite.com.
The same information appears in the titlebar of recent Gecko-based
browsers when a new window without an address bar is opened.
I'm sure there is some configuration or registry change an individual
could make that would change this behaviour, but you can't affect that
change from your Web site.
You'll just have to live with it, because the people using your site are
seeing the URL in the titlebar.

first off, thank you for testing
i'm using the same browsers as you (on xp pro) and get different
results as indicated in my first post... not sure why, it's a very odd
issue
if you have the time, view source the popup and look at the <title>
tag... notice the URL isn't in there... any ideas here?

i have a simple JS window.open function that i'm calling and it works
great
here:
http://demo.creationsite.com/GLBC/www/
(click on "virtual tour" in the yellow text link)
- no status bar
- proper title in title bar (same as main window)
now once i transferred this EXACT file (and included JS file) to the
live
location (which is with a different hosting provider btw) i have some
issues:
http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/
(click the same link as before)
- now i get a status bar!
- the title doesn't show up correctly (the URL is automatically
displayed in
front of what i have for the title tag)
- do a "view source" and see what i mean
I see exactly the same thing at both sites (status bar and URL in
title), using
IE6 and Firefox.
