Default How to suppress "Make available offline" option

Hi,

I am using a java script window.open to open a popup from SAP - BSP application. I want to suppress URL on that popup screen.

IE has an option "Make available offline" (when you right click the IE logo appearing on top left corner in title bar) which opens up a wizard in which URL is displayed. I would like to suppress that option.

I tried the option titlebar=no in window.open. Since this script is called from BSP application (SAP), the title bar is not getting suppressed. Is there any way to suppress the make available offline option in the browser??

Thanks,

Krish

I very much doubt it using only script. If you have control of the browser, a company intranet for example you might be able to use Group Policy, if that fails then a browser helper object would be needed which would need to be installed. There are also many other ways to get the URL of a page. You can only disable the title bar if the site is in the trusted sites security zone or local intranet.
In my opinion if it's that important to stop users knowing the URL you shouldn't be using a browser-based application.

Thanks Joe. I introduced a web page inbetween and used a javascript to open a popup window and the direct back the control to original page. This way I somehow managed to not to show the actual url in the "make available offline" option.

But now my issue is if I right click on the web page and click on the properties the actual URL is getting displayed. Is there any way to have a control on that??
