Hiding the address bar of a browser popup

Question

I have to hide the address bar of a browser  I am using this code     var winFeature            location no toolbar no menubar no scrollbars yes resizable yes   window open  Result html   null  winFeature       In many solutions  just the location no attribute can hide the address bar  in both IE  amp  Chrome    However  this didn t work for me  even in IE  amp  Chrome    Finally  I found a MSDN article that describes how location no simply hides the back forward stop navigation buttons  and makes the address bar read-only   Is there any solution to hide the entire address bar by ignoring above MSDN article   I am testing in IE and Google Chrome

you can do it with visual Basic  put a Webbrowser control on the form  load an html that opens a popup with Location no and it will open a new browser without address bar  Probably not what you are looking for but just thought throw it in

This is no longer possible in modern browsers due to security restrictions   Official -ish  Sources    Firefox     In Firefox 3  dom disable window open feature location now defaults to true  forcing the presence of the Location Bar much like in IE7  See bug 337344 for more information   Internet Explorer 7 and later     In Internet Explorer 6  location specifies whether to display the Address Bar      Implying the behaviour ends with IE6  Chrome Chromium      Those toolbar hiding parameters are ignored in Chrome    You will also notice that modern browsers are moving towards not hiding it as security   anti phishing measures    Also see https   bugzilla mozilla org show bug cgi id 337344

You could make the webpage scroll down to a position where you can t see the address bar  and if the user scrolls  the page should return to your set position  In that way  Mobile browsers when scrolled down   will try to guve you full-screen experience  So it will hide the address bar   I don t know the code  someone else might put up the code

It s different in every browser   Some years ago  what you tried  was right  But nowadays it is regarded as a security risk by browser vendors that one cannot see the browsers address bar  for phishing reasons  and so they  or most of them  made the decision to always show the browser address bar  Which is good in my eyes

You might no be able to HIDE it  but if you are looking for the extra space  what I did and seems to work is a very simple thing  the address bar has 60px height   so this is my solution    media only screen and  max-width  1024px      only from ipads down   body      padding-bottom  60px     push your whole site same height upwards

What is the truth     Microsoft s documentation describing the behaviour of their browser is correct      Is there any solution to hide the addressbar    No  If you could hide it  then you could use HTML CSS to make something that looked like a common address bar  You could then put a different address in it  You could then trick people into thinking they were on a different site and entering their password for it   It is impossible to conceal the user s location from them because it is essential for security that they know what their location is

Looking for the same  the only thing I m able to do is   Launch Google Chrome in app mode  Chrome exe --app   lt address gt     From the run prompt  Example   Chrome exe --app  http   www google com    Hide the address bar in Mozilla Firefox  Type about config in the address bar  the search for   dom disable window open feature location   And set it to false  So  when you open a popup window  it will launch with the address bar hidden  For example   window open  http   www google com      postwindow          Now  I m looking to do something similar with Microsoft Edge  I have not found anything yet for this browser

There is no definite way to do that  JS may have the API  but the browser vendor may choose not to implement it or implement it in another way   Also  as far as I remember  Opera even provides the user preferences to prevent JS from making such changes  like have the window move  change status bar content  and stuff like that
