If a scrollbars=no param is added to a javascript window.open call it should
honor this param by not displaying scrollbars even if the content is larger than
the window size.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write this html page:
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

var features = "outerwidth="   screen.availWidth   ",outerheight="
screen.availHeight  "scrollbar='no',titlebar='no'";

function openBrWindow(theURL,winName) {
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
</script>
</head>

  <h4><a href="#"
onclick="openBrWindow('http://home.netscape.com','Presentation');">Load
  Netcenter</a> </h4>

2.launch this webpage and click on the link

3.see window that just opens

Actual Results:  the windows that opens shows scrollbars
Expected Results:  the windows that opens should not show scrollbars as it is
being launched with the parameter 'scrollbars=no'.
This is basic javascript stuff being used on sites worldwide. Please fix asap,
if this is confirmed to be a bug. Thanks.

This also occurs on www.ea.com, BTW.

This can probably be solved simply by mapping "scrollbars=no" to a value of the
'overflow' property on the root element of the created window.

Nom. nsbeta, recc. nsbeta2+. This is basic DOM0 b.c.--a key b2 criterion--and 
the turning off of scrollbars is widely, widely used in JavaScript that opens 
new windows (which is a very common use of JS, e.g. for popup ads).

Cleaning up status whiteboard and marking beta2 minus (6/22 has passed).

This does seem like pretty fundamental JS stuff.  The good news is that having 
scroll bars when not "desired" should not IMO be the end of the world at all for 
beta2.  I'm nominating for beta3, as I'm sure we'll want to be 4.x compatible if 
possible.

verified fixed. win32/linux/mac 200008160(8|9|10). The world is now safe for
popup ads to flog products in pixel-precise layouts.
