Remove the toolbar for the LSO Content Player Window.

Question

Hi All,
        We are implementing SAP LSO. In the BSP Application HCM_Learning, I am able to run the course by clicking on link 'Start Now'. The BSP page related to this is "Training Home.htm".
Now a new window popup up ( ie) the content player popup in a new window and plays the course. I want to remove the toolbar from this new popup window.
I changed the toolbar value from yes to no in the Function Popup() defined .
function popup(t, b)
         thePopup = window.open (b,t,"toolbar=no,menubar=no,width=300,height=250,scrollbars,resizable");
          thePopup.focus();
But still i'm getting that toolbar in the popup window.
How can i resolve this.?
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Eben Joyson.

Hey Ravi,
Thanks for sharing your perspective. 
After thinking further about the real estate question, I believe that, at least in the US, most instructional designers aim to present content at 800x600 pixel size.  This accounts for differing monitor sizes, etc.  If this is the case, then good instructional design (e.g. don't put too much content on a screen at once) should assure that content could be played in-line (in the BSP page).  Since the navigational controls are at the bottom, that wouldn't have any effect on width of the page and could also be accommodated.
I'm still of the opinion that SAP LSO (and all leading LMS systems) should evolve to presenting content in the base window.  Perhaps there are some extreme exceptions where the extra real estate would make a true difference.  In that case, perhaps the learner should be offered an LSO learner setting where they can choose to display content in-line or in a separate window....let them decide   Alternatively, one could offer the Training Administrator an infotype setting where they specify whether the content should be displayed in-line (default) versus in a separate popup (this could be used on an exception basis).
