QuestionIE7 - window.open shows URL instead of title with location=no

    I have javascript code as follows:


    var helpWinSettings = "menubar=no,toolbar=no,titlebar=yes,resizable=no,location=no,status=yes,width=550,height=450,left=640,top=210";

    var helpWin = window.open('Help.htm?0='+helpVars+'&1='+helpContacts,'HELP',helpWinSettings);

    and the Help.htm is as follows:


    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <head>

    <title>Help Documentation</title>

    .....

    This appears fine in IE6, shows the Help.htm title properly (as it appears in its <title>
    tag. But in IE7, the navigation bar is suppressed, but the window title is replaced by the
    complete URL. I read about this being a security feature in IE7. I would like to know if
    there is any way around this or we have to live with it, as long as we are using IE7?
