I have a little asp progress bar window that I open up with javascript,
sized and located, all the extras turned off. It works by refreshing itself
every second and displaying how much a file upload has progressed. (This is
a paid for 3rd party thing so don't ask me to change the way it works!) Even
though I have "status=no" in the javascript window.open statment it has a
status bar and every second the status bar does its thing where it displays
its own little progress bar and the word "done", obviously this is only
going to cause confusion with what the rest of the window is doing.
I've been experimenting with status=no
This little test page opens another window without status bar if I run it
locally on my PC but not if I run it from the server. (I'm XP, server is Win
2003)

If I run it from the server in Netscape it doesn't have the status bar.
If I run it locally in firefox it does!
So it looks like turning off the status bar is not as easy as sending the
right javascript code to do it. Looks to me like it is dependent on browser
and operating system and just by looking at some googled links on the
subject it is also dependent on your security settings.
I cannot find a definitive answer to this, my client wants the status bar
gone from his progress window and I'd like to be able to explain why it is
beyond my control, if that turns out to be the case.
Anyone familiar with this that can send me a link that explains it all? My
googling hasn't been very successfull.
Thanks!
