address bar

Hello, does anyone know a way I can hide the address bar on my web site? I have a certain section that I want to hide the address on. For example, when someone goes to the medical link, it will open in a window with no http://www.mycompany.com in the bar. I thought there would be some type of JAVA script or something to hide this but I couldn't find anything.
This is only for a certain section of my site that I am testing. I don't want people to see where they are going because I will be moving it soon. I realize there is a way around finding my address but it's just for testing purposes now.
Thanks

add this in your <head> of the html page

<script language="javascript">

</script>

Open

Leave as much changing of a user's preference out when opening a new window. If that window is the last one closed when exiting your browser, it will then become the default preferences when reopening your browser. It is bad enough that you are turning a user's address bar off in the first place.

Code:

window.open(myurl,"preview",', location=no');

Check out this thread that deals with a Pop-up script. The Javascript controls which properties will be available to the new window.. however you should use the onclick handler of the <a> tag rather than rely on the user having Javascript enabled.

This will give you extra brownie points for site accessibility! :o)
