IE7 Vs. Firefox, Address Bar Vs. No Address Bar

Same code produces inconsistent results in different browsers

This question concerns the following page of mine <no urls, please>. If you navigate to this page in IE7 and click on the graphic links in the right column, the resulting window shows an address bar. If you navigate to this page in Firefox and click on the graphic links in the right column, the resulting window does not show an address bar (with the additional result that there is an empty black space on the bottom of the window).

Is there a way to write the code so that it displays consistently in both browsers? My preference, if it is possible, would be to not have an address bar show in either browser.

Thanks very much to anyone who can help and I apologize if this question is somewhat remedial. It was a couple years ago that I created this site and my html/css skills have gotten rusty, while at the same time the browsers have changed the way they render my original code.

I don`t think this can be controlled with code. Firefox 3.0 appears to add an address bar in all windows. I assume that might be able to be controlled via the browsers config setting, but not actually on a visitor basis.

I see the same with IE7 - it seems to force thre address into the new window, no matter what the javascript code says. I assume it's part of the anti-phishing security that MS patched together for IE7.
