The key information is as follows.

The behavior described in this comment is by-design. In Internet Explorer 7 and later, you cannot remove the address bar in Internet Zone windows, for security (anti-spoofing) reasons. As described in the MSDN article above, in IE7 and later, location=no simply hides the back/forward/stop navigation buttons, and makes the address bar read-only. (The reason you can hide the address bar when the file is saved locally is that the file is opened in the Local Machine zone rather than the Internet Zone.)

The address bar is not supposed to come in a pop up, if we are setting "location=no" in the input "Features" of window.open(). It is coming at certain situations as follows. Please let me know why it is coming like that.
Steps to reproduce this issue

I appreciate why this design decision was made: security trumps appearance.

OK. The problem is that the calculated window size should encompass the page's content and not be consumed by the location (URL) window; empirical observations have proven otherwise. However, there is a boolean window object property (window.locationbar.visible) which denotes whether or not the location window is present. I have modified the code to select window size accordingly. It appears to work with FireFox, so I would hope it will work with IE7 and the other browser you'd called out. I have tested with Safari, FireFox, Netscape, SeaMonkey, and Opera, and all now function as expected.
