Eddie,
Microsoft and Netscape prevent you from changing those items in the users "Original" window by way of script. However, if you launch a new window through script, you may then have that control over the new window. But not the original window.

Eddie,
One possibility is to immediately open a brand new window in your application and work everything from that window. The new window would, of course, have none o' that fancy stuff.
If you're feeling frisky, you could even automatically close the parent window, but you have to put up with a prompt.
Here are three files.
Save this as "Sample.html":
Save this as "Sample.js":
And save this as "SampleWindowContents.html":
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

eddie,
If you replace the
in "SampleWindowContents.html" with
then it will close the parent window.
In other words, by shifting the soul of your app to the new window and trashing the old corpse, you can essentially do what you're asking.
Of course, for suggesting such a discourteous practice, I'm going straight to hell.
Cheers,
Edward

Not even a kiss goodbye, and the parent window softly and suddenly vanishes away.
For one of my li'l Satanic apps, I'm trying to make it such that immediately upon hitting the page, the page is replaced by a duplicate window of the same size, shape, and location, with the parent window being closed. Blip! All gone, all under the covers. Practically, this means the browser window suddenly becomes more "app-like" or "Satanic". This evidently makes me "employable".
What a world...
Cheers,
Edward
