disable browser bar when page is loaded

Do you know a way to disable any message bar (Google translate, ff help bar question,...) that appears when loading a site page? I have noticed that for some site Google translate is not pop up, although they don't use code as <meta name="google" value="notranslate">? Is there any trick in html code, or is depends of html definition: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

That affect the browser bar?

What you want to do is check that your document is the top-most frame and if not, 'break free' from being displayed in a frame/iframe of another location. Add this code to your documents in the HEAD section:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
  if (top.location != location) {
    top.location.href = document.location.href ;
  }
-->
</script>

This won't stop Google Translate from displaying translated version of your page, for example, but it will make your document 'break free' out of the frame that Google sets up (with the ability to change a few settings and such). Hope that's what you were looking for. If you have access to your web server configuration, then also check for how to prevent linking in frame and iframe from other domains for your web server. The Apache code for that would be:

#block frame and iframe linking from other domains
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN

Not sure all browsers respect such headers, though and you might be forced to use mod_rewrite rules to achieve what you're after.

Cheers!

Well, if a browser company decide to 'freak-out' or what-ever do something beside showing html content, you can't do anything but try another browser. Like, if googleChrome add publicity to their 'software' .. you'd need to 'hack' the software in order to remove components from it.

Some softwares offer 'web' extensions such has microsoft IE <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no"> etc etc..

Search the web for 'browser specific meta', it might help.

carry on
