Hide that toolbar from within the page?

Hi, I'm somewhat new to writing JS, so any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to get a page to resize itself (no problem) and hide the address bar, toolbar, status bar when it loads.

I used this code to resize the window upon loading:
<html>

<head>
<title>whatever</title>
</head>

<body onload="resize()">

<script>function resize(){
window.moveTo(0,0)
window.resizeTo(440,400)
}
</script>

</body>

</html>

But I can't find a way to remove the toolbars etc. from the window without generating the window from another page. I just want it to remove them when it loads. I searched all the references I could find, and all the tutorials on JavaScriptKit.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

In order to prevent hostile web sites from totally hijacking the user's browser session all browsers will refuse to let a script alter the window in the fashion you want. The only way to get there is to create your own NEW window as you have already found.

Thanks for your reply. At least I know it can't be done.
