Default Remove status Bar "OnLoad" - 07-18-2003 , 12:01 PM






.... are there any way of remove the status bar with a javascript function?

i mean that when the page is loading then remove the status bar

something like this " <body Onload="FunRemoveStatus();"

Why?

The status bar is a very important part of the GUI. With removing or
overwriting it you take a lot of useful functionality away from the
user and decrease the accessibility and usability of _your_ site!

Think about it.

And then forget it.

Sorry, but that's no reason, that's bad design.

What makes you sure all your visitors have exactly the same window
size as you have? And BTW, screen resolution has nothing to do with
the size of the browser window, even on a 800x600 resolution the
content area of a fullsized window is smaller than that (title,
borders, scrollbars etc.).

And what about laptops, handhelds, mobiles, ...?
Ever seen a PDA with 800x600 display?

Building websites with a fixed width (and worst case: fixed height) is
absolutely waste of time, it can't be done with HTML without running
into trouble and annoying lots of users. If you want absolute
pixel-perfect control over the layout of your site make a pdf.

What if a user's screen is set to 800x600 res, but they don't run the
browser maximized? then removing the status bar wouldn't matter, they still
would have to scroll. Or what if they use large icons in the menu, what if
they have a custom search bar, under the standard menu, address, links bars?
There are so many variables that it would be impossible to ensure every
single visitor would see the whole thing without scrolling.
