assgar Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hello I would like to hide the address bar or contents for Firefox and internt Explorer. What is the best way to accomplish this? Will I still be able to pass values to other pages using the hidden address bar? Note: I am using PHP, Mysql. These pages will run on windows and linux servers. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140335-hide-address-bar-or-info/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclamp Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 You cant do that with PHP. It is a javascript thing, and im pretty sure it only works with Popups.

Daniel0 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 You can do window.status='foo'; but I hate websites that change the value of my status bar.

corbin Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think it's disabled by default in newer browsers. Maybe sites have just stopped doing it though.

Daniel0 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just tested. Seems like you're right. That's nice Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140335-hide-address-bar-or-info/#findComment-734715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I hated sites that would do that. They did it for two reasons (in my head): It was a tacky site that thought it was cool, or the site was trying to hide something. lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140335-hide-address-bar-or-info/#findComment-734729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
