How to disable url address bar using javascript or jquery

I have a spring mvc framework and I want to disable the address bar of the URL when the page loads! (This is not a public web application) How can I achieve this using javascript or jquery.

Update:

Guys, if I can make the url string read-only, that would be fine too!

One possible solution to this problem is to create a simple WPF application that hosts a web browser control that fills the entire form. The web browser control does not have a URL bar, so you can mimic what you are describing using this approach. May work as you said this internal application.

Note. The browser control will behave like IE

You cannot hide the address bar in the browser programmatically.

You can hide the address bar in browser windows opened by your javascript code, although I think some browsers even override this now.

I fear this mission is Impossible. You cannot hide what guides you. All visible links on web pages. The concept of hiding a URL is to make them incomprehensible. Encrypt a specific part of the URL, e.g. id, slug ...

  • You can make the location bar read-only only if you use window.open.
  • In the case of IE, we can change the browser setting for this. But this may not be a good idea.

so to simply turn off the location bar using window.open, the code looks like this:

subwin = window.open(url,"dummyname",'width=635px,resizable=no, height=535px, menubar=no, toolbar=no, location=no, scrollbars=no');

In the above example, location = no disables the location bar. You can change the size, scroll bar, menu, etc. Of your choice.

Thanks.
