window.open does not remove staus bar

[mlohmac]

Hello, I am trying to get a pop-up window to launch without the status bar. Below, is the snippet of code that is in-line in my HTML. The pop-up contains an ASP.NET calander control that retutrns a date value to a text box. Everything is working correctly, but no mater what I have tried the status bar is still visible. Any idea what could be wrong? I am using IE 6.

<a href="javascript:calendar_window=window.open('Calendar.aspx?formname=Form1.txtPMDate','calendar_window','status=no,width=165,height=165,top=300,left=150');calendar_window.focus()">
<IMG src="images/calendar.gif" border="0">
</a>

this works fine for me in IE 6.0.2800

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com/',[/URL] 'w', 'left=150,top=150,height=300,width=300'); return false;">

Oh O.K., I didn't see that he was using IE 6. The script worked fine for me too in IE 6.

My problem is that the status bar is visible even with the status set to no. My script works fine and correctly returns a value to the proper ASP.NET text box. But I would like the little pop-up calendar window to not have a status bar. Does the status=no only work in browsers other then IE 6? Even better would be to use the dialog=yes parameter but that does not seem to work either.

Thanks for the replies.

you did not specify that you were most likely using SP2. You cannot control the status bar in IE 6 SP2 (I'm almost certain) and you cannot control the status bar in FireFox either.
