NEED HELP ON HOW TO TURN STATUS BAR OF A JSF PAGE OFF

Question

I need a pop-up within my application where a staff can select his HOD(An hyperlink named HODNAME with text SELECT ) and on click it shows a pop up of a page (allstafflist.jsp) which has table and contains all staff. It has Select link which return name of the HOD to the parent page. My problem is that if I set the url of HODNAME (allstafflist.jsp) and set target to (new window), it shows the page as a pop up and if I select anything it returns what I want but I don�t WANT IT TO HAVE /SEE STATUS BAR.
So I thought of writing a javascript and call the function below on click i.e
ui:hyperlink binding="#{page1now.hodname}" id="hodname"
style="color: blue; left: 480px; top: 1128px; position: absolute; width: 94px" onClick=�searchpage()� text=" SELECT STAFF" >
<script >
function searchpage() {
window.open( "http://wghjhc-1016:8000/appraisal/faces/allstafflist.jsp" , "sfafflist" , "status = 1, height=900,width=900 , resizable = 0" )
</script>
but my problem is that it shows the pop up with no status bar but it display it at the back of the parent page, so if I don�t minimize the parent page I won�t see it.
So my problem is
1.     how can I make javascript run first on a page so as to disable the status bar.(i.e if it run first on allstafflist and disable its status bar) or
2.     how can I make the pop up from the javasript above not to be disappearing(i.e to appear as pop up and not to appear at the back of the current page)or
3.     how can I set the property or the url to be displayed not to have status bar(i.e if I set the property of hodname i.e url = "/faces/allstafflist.jsp", target="_blank")
