Using status=no but still get status bar!

[AndyGroom]

Hi,

I've got the following code to open a Voting window:

function Vote()
{
newwin = window.open('voteframe.htm','','top=150,left=150,width=600,height=400,status=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no');
}

voteframe.htm is a frame page to display a graphic on the left and a scrollable form on the right.

When the Vote() function is called it opens a new window perfectly, right place and right size, but always with a statusbar at the bottom. What am I doing wrong?

add 'scrollbar=no' to that

I have heard claims that Windows XP SP 2 has preventative methods to not allow JavaScript to remove the status bar from IE windows.

cLFlaVA is correct. XP SP2 prevents web pages opening windows with no status bar - this is supposed to try and make it more obvious where a link will take you when hovering over it.

Try viewing your web page in an earlier version of Windows/IE to check this is the actual cause of your problem.
