How to remove the IE toolbar from the current window and not opening a new window?

 I tried this

var window_dimensions = "toolbars=no,menubar=no,location=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=yes"
               
 window.open("url","_self",  window_dimensions);

this does open on the same window but the toolbar still remains.

Please help

Yes I agree with askanthonys; you can only set the dimensions before opening a window and not after it has been opened.
Sorry my friend, you cannot alter the tool bar of "MY" browser, or anyone elses from within a web-page. The browser is a local app the user controls, not the content author.

I really tried hard a few years ago to simulate this and could only rely on manipulating the browser settings after opening a new window.

>>You can modify some properties of the new window, like scrollbars, status bar...
I don't think so. I belief you can not modify scroll bar property from with in a window. I might be wrong but this is what I encounter during my experience.
Sorry; ignore my last comment I got it wrong.
