Pop up window without address bar?

alex_sh · 2018-11-18 22:13:55

If I expand the chat widget clicking on "Open in a new window" button, then a new window pops up with an URL in the address bar (like, for example,

https://demo.livehelperchat.com/chat/startchat/(vid)/b3669caa41b6418899d6/(hash_resume)/1_c3ebb8b3cb4addae0d633a3be2b3dd371e25c228/(er)/1?URLReferer=%2F%2Fforum.livehelperchat.com%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fid%3D3241%23&tzuser=4&r=%2F%2Fforum.livehelperchat.com%2F

). I wonder is it possible to generate java script code that opens a pop up window without an address bar? My current script is:

<script type="text/javascript">
var LHCChatOptions = {};
LHCChatOptions.opt = {widget_height:340,widget_width:300,popup_height:520,popup_width:500,domain:'mydomain'};
(function() {
var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
var referrer = (document.referrer) ? encodeURIComponent(document.referrer.substr(document.referrer.indexOf('://')+1)) : '';
var location  = (document.location) ? encodeURIComponent(window.location.href.substring(window.location.protocol.length)) : '';
po.src = 'https://mydomain.com/index.php/chat/getstatus/(click)/internal/(position)/bottom_right/(ma)/br/(top)/350/(units)/pixels/(leaveamessage)/true/(department)/2/(survey)/1?r='+referrer+'&l='+location;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();
</script>

We just need to integrate options mentioned on w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp like:

window.open(url,'window','toolbar=no, menubar=no, resizable=yes');

A workaround can be use widget and disable pop up window... in this case the url will be not visible.
For pop up i never have suggestion on how hide link.

Digging into this further I've found out reading stackoverflow.com/questions/15230137/hide-bar-address-in-popup-chrome that

Most browsers do not allow you to hide the address of the page anymore. This is for safety reasons, otherwise a phishing site could be placed in front of you and you would have no idea.

So maybe one day the livehelperchat developer will use modal window to hide URLs.

Meanwhile using widget is fine, but it's too small. I will try to change its size.

Hi alex_sh, glad to hear you back.
You can customize the widget size when you generate the embed code, in design tab smile

I hope this can help. I also changed the widget appearance on my website because the default looks like too small, to short for me tongue
