I know it is possible to write links using javascript which will supress the toolbars and the status bar.
Is it possible to put code inside the pages which will do the same? So that, If I write a page, due to the code inside the page itself rather than the code in the link, the page will not have toolbars or a status bar when it loads.
Thanks!!

You cannot remove the status bar of the current browser window. Only in the popup window. But if the browser window is maximized you can use the trick to hide the status bar:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function noStatus() {
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(screen.ava
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="noStatus();">
</body>
</html>
What an utterly horrible idea.

... but most modern browsers have options to prevent site authors resizing windows anyway.
Why do you want to hide the status bar anyway? I can't think of any good reason for doing so.
Two problems there.
(1) If the browser is maximised then, in the situation, it would only be on one monitor. The code you provided would spread it across both.
(2) You can't tell if the window is maximised in the first place, so you can't restrict your code so it only functions if the window is maximised
OK
1) This code will work properly in the case that the browser window is maximized by default and the user works with the single monitor. So I don't call it the solution. I call it the "trick" instead.
2) Don't like the window to resize itself - disable this future in your modern browser. Don't like the site - don't visit it. There is the question: you may say "you can't", but you should not say "you shouldn't" ;-). Well, there is enough offtopic.

No ... and most modern browsers have options that prevent you removing it period - even in popups.
