When you specify the settings for a window, you must include them in a comma-
separated list, with no spaces anywhere. For the settings that allow you to enable or
disable a browser interface component, the valid values are on or off. Here’s a valid list
of settings:
status=off,toolbar=off,location=off,left=200,top=100,width=300,height=300
Here’s an invalid list of settings:
status=off, toolbar=off, location=false, top=100
Including spaces (or carriage returns) anywhere in your list will cause problems. It’s also
worth noting that when you provide settings for a new window, the browser automati-
cally assumes a default of off for any on/off settings that you don’t include. So, you can
leave out anything you want to turn off.
Here’s a complete example that uses JavaScript to create a new window:
