Lots of information gets displayed by the location and status bars of a zope system user's system. In some instances it presents a privacy or security issue. I'd like to turn them off, force them to blanks, or whatever's necessary to make them bland and uninteresting. I've seen this topic come up occasionally, but a quick Google did not turn up anything relevant. You can use Javascript to write stuff into the status bar. And you can open a window without a status bar and a locsation bar using window.open() in Javascript, but I have not seen any comments suggesting a global solution. Any thoughts, hints, etc?

If its a really a privacy or security issue, hiding it from the user accomplishes exactly nothing. Fix the issue, don't cover it up. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/

What a strange notion of privacy... The status bar provides the current user with information about what *he* did or can do on a page. Whose privacy is affected by this information? You can disable the status bar via JavaScript. Fortunately, modern browsers allow to disable this possibility as they have a better notion of privacy and security than you seem to have (their concerns focus on the user while yours seem to be focused on the server). -- Dieter
