Wasabi! I'm not sure exactly what it's called, but I want to change the text that appears on the status bar when you move the mouse over a hyperlink.
Hopefully this is possible, somehow.

On a totally unrelated note, GEOCITIES DESERVES DEATH AND BURNING! *grin* No doubt you all knew that already.

I posted a couple pages on a free geocities account thingo, just to see how fast they loaded (yes, I cleared the temporary internet files =P ). It loaded, but with an error along the lines of 'line 2, character 29, syntax error'.
So, my first 10 or so lines were all shorter than 29 characters.
After a couple hours of editing and swearing and whatnot, I posted a page there that went

'<HTML>

work, dammit.

</HTML>'

'line 2, character 29, syntax error. Please commit suicide now.'

=P

As it turns out, the error is in the add-launching code that Geocities inserts at the very top of every page on a free hosting wossname like that. I really wish I knew their physical address ;)



mmm, rant. Cheers,
Wozza
