IE7 and Popup Windows

IE7 and Popup Windows
Thu, 26 Oct 2006 08:38:01 -070
I noticed that when a window is popup that the address bar is placed at the 
top of the window.  I understand why Microsoft added this feature but 
Microsoft should have added a way to disable this feature for windows that 
launch from within an web application with the same URL.
 
This is causing me problem because I have controls (RadControls) I use that 
launch a window for input from the user and since the URL shows information, 
the user can easily manipulate the URL or see information about that I didn't 
want the user to see.
 
You should be able to control this in a control web site as long the popup 
URL is the same as the URL of the site that launched it.  

Is there a way to have this feature or a workaround? 

Thanks,

Not at this time that I'm aware of and I think it might have something to do 
with the 'vulernability' found that's really just a bug unless the user's 
completely clueless which, well, can happen. Either way? This is 
IE5.gen.discussion...
