    new windows in IE7 - putting address bar when I said no

    http://www.joakimboren.co.uk/joakim_b/index.htm

    If you click on the label it should open a new window with no toolbars/addressbars which works fine in IE6 FF and Safari but not with IE7, it opens up with an address bar which means the site does not quite fit on a normal laptop screen!

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if it has changed but check out IE7 Tabbed Browsing Implementation
    Regarding script, there is no "target='_tab'" feature or any direct access to tabs from script beyond what is available with multiple windows today. We are working on balancing the default behavior for whether a window opened from script opens as in a new frame or a tab. Currently, windows that have been customized, such as hiding a toolbar or making the window non-resizable, will default to opening in their own standalone frame, whereas ordinary pop-up windows will open in a new foreground tab. CTRL-clicking and middle-clicking links will open those links in a background tab. The rationale for opening only customized windows in a new frame is that this seems to correlate with scenarios where showing a window on top of the current window is desirable, such as replying to posts on internet message boards and getting a close-up view of items on shopping sites. Naturally we will continue to refine the default behavior and provide settings to customize the behavior.
    Even the wizard that I have used in the past does not work on this one

    IE 7 doesn't allow you to hide the address bar for security reasons. This is becoming common practice in other browsers as well.
