How to disable address toolbar ?

Hi,
I am trying to hide the address toolbar but it seems the sintax is not ok:

<a href="window.open("myfile.xls", "Window", "toolbar=no,menubar=no,width=800,height=500,resizable=yes,status=no,top=50,left=100,scrollbars=yes");" target="_new"> Spreadsheet Book</a>

Thanks in advance,

Thank you guys,

dakyd, your solution worked fine for me, but still it appears all the address location at the very top, in the title, how can I change that?

Thanks,

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can do much better than that.  And actually, GfW's solution is better than mine in this case, I accidentally left in the target="_new".  That's going to cause you to open more than one new window, which probably isn't what you're looking for.

I am at a loss as to why  the accepted solution was selected. It open 2 windows one of which shows the address bar. To hide the address from the title bar,  in the page myfile.xls put  <title>My Excellent PAge</tile> to set the title

Sorry about that, I guess it was a timing issue.
