hiding the address bar (not on a popup) - GoFuckYourself.com

Does any body know of a way using JavaScript to remove or hide a browser's address bar or toolbar on the fly? You can obviously use a script to pop open a new window and set the properties of that window like so:
window.open(URL_of_new_window,window_handle,"toolb ar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars= no");

However, I want a way to get rid of the menubar and toolbar on the click of a button, lets say. In other words, the pop up window has already been opened, displaying the menubar and tool bar. When the user clicks on a button or link in the window, though, the menubar/tool bar should disappear. Any ideas? Thanks

Nope you cant, you can only control a page you opened. Thing you can do is go in full screen mode.
