window.open and status bar

[WMcGregor]

I would like to force the status bar to be on for a window that is created using the window.open function. In IE (when using XP and SP2 anyway) the new windows will have a status bar to prevent malicious intent. But with Firefox, if I turn off the status bar using the view-status bar option on the menu, any windows opened using the window.open function will not have a status bar either (even if the status=yes option is specified).

Any ideas how to make the status bar appear in the new window even if the user has the status bar turned off on the page that contains the link?

Thanks

not possible. if a user has set his preferences to not show the status bar in firefox, then the status bar will not show, regardless of your javascript mastery.
