从浏览器禁用 Url 栏

Question

I'm trying to disable the address bar on the browser. All opinions suggest that this is not possible, especially in modern browsers. I was about to believe this and move on until I found out that Pluralsight did it. Here is a link. Just expand one of the sections and click on one of the videos. No matter which browser you use, it will work (a new window will open with a disabled address bar). I had a close look at the page source but that revealed nothing. I can assess the following:

• They are not using any plugin (no Silverlight or Flash) because it worked just fine on Edge which does not support plugins.
• It's not a regular popup window, because I got no warnings or popup block messages with any browser whatsoever.

Can anybody suggest how that can be done?

Answer 1

It's actually just a plain ol' window.open() being used.

In the source of the page you linked to is:

function openPlayerFromTranscript(e, t, r) {
    var n = "width=1354,height=836,status=0,titlebar=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1";
    window.open(getPlayerUrlForTranscript(e, t, r), "psplayer", n)
}

Answer 2

window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=0', 'menubar=0', 'scrollbars=0', 'status=0', 'titlebar=0', 'toolbar=0');

'location=0' will work only for Opera browser
