what about inline pop-ups? You can write your own code or see this: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Dialog.
I dont use standard window.open javascript function at all, as in IE 8 it's IMHO impossible to hide location bar.
Inline (I mean html) dialogs have more features than window.open.
Hope it helps.

No, there is no way to get rid of that bar in IE7 - this change was brought in as a security measure to help combat phishing.
As Feryt says, you can use inline popups, which is probably a better solution anyway.

Make window.opener.location read-only in cross-origin situations · Issue #2047 · whatwg/html
November 15, 2016 - Furthermore, I know of no legitimate use cases for a child page to be able to force a navigation in the parent, and I would consider it horrible user experience. I propose that window.opener.location be made read-only in pages that are from a different origin from the opening page.

Popups and window methods
Usually a notification appears, so that a user may allow them. Browsers open a new tab by default, but if sizes are provided, then it’ll be a popup window. The popup may access the opener window using the window.opener property. The main window and the popup can freely read and modify each other if they have the same origin. Otherwise, they can change location of each other and exchange messages.

window.open without address bar | Arvind Shyamsundar's technical blog
February 8, 2011 - Recently we were struggling with trying to figure out how to suppress the address bar for a popup window opened using JavaScript’s window.open method. Normally, there is an option there which allows you to specify ‘location=no’ and the address bar is expected to be hidden.

Named access on the Window object
1 week ago - By default, scripts can access their opener browsing context's Window object through the window.opener getter. E.g., a script can set window.opener.location, causing the opener browsing context to navigate. ... Let navigable be this's navigable. If navigable is null, then return null. If navigable's parent is not null, then set navigable to navigable's parent.

Window.open and hiding URL in Edge using I.E. mode - Microsoft Q&A
August 26, 2022 - The users have to run Edge in I.E. mode for it to be usable. We use the Javascript Window.Open method to open our pop-up pages. For security, we cannot have the popup URL displayed. Since being saddled with Edge, we can no longer hide the URL. It seems that Edge ignore the Spec options like toobar=no or location=no.

Firefox 3.0 and higher have disabled setting location by default. resizable and status are also disabled by default. You can verify this by typing `about:config' in your address bar and filtering by "dom". The items of interest are:
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.location
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.status
You can get further information at the Mozilla Developer site. What this basically means, though, is that you won't be able to do what you want to do.
One thing you might want to do (though it won't solve your problem), is put quotes around your window feature parameters, like so:
window.open('/pageaddress.html','winname','directories=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350');

I agree we can not hide address bar in modern browsers, but we can hide the URL in address bar (e.g show URL about:blank). The following is my work around solution:
var iframe = '<html><head><style>body, html {width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0}</style></head><body><iframe src="https://www.w3schools.com" style="height:calc(100% - 4px);width:calc(100% - 4px)"></iframe></body></html>';
var win = window.open("","","width=600,height=480,toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes");
win.document.write(iframe);
