Why status bar is still shown when I’m using window.open(“test.html”, “a”, “status=no”). This doesn’t work on IE8 only and only if site is not in trusted zone. In this case status bar appears no matter what I do.
It’s an IE8 Security feature.
By default, non-trusted sites can’t hide window elements (status bar, address bar) when opening new windows.
The idea is to prevent a malicious site from masquerading as a trusted site and hiding the address and status bars so you can’t tell the real URL of the page.
Users do have the option of disabling this feature though.
