IE doesnt hide status bar on window.open "status=no"

[Ronen Yacov]

Hi There,
I've using IE 7.0.5730.11 on Windows XP.
I want to open a pop up using javascript without showing the status
bar, and to do so I use the function:

function openwindow()
{
window.open("http://www.javascript-
coder.com","mywindow","menubar=1,resizable=1,status=no,width=350,height=250");
}

which was taken from an example.

When activating the function IE opens the pop-up but still shows the
status bar.
Anyone has any idea whats wrong here? How can I hide the status bar?

Thanks,
Ron

If I remember correctly, the ability of authors to disable the status
bar was removed as an anti-pishing measure.
