Does anyone know of a script that will keep the browser from showing the hyperlink address in the status bar? I just want to display a message and not have it show the address when I hover over a hyperlink.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Need something like this?

It's not working 100%, but if you just need 95%, you can use it maybe :D

I know, you can optimize it a little bit...

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var message="";
var timeout=50;

function updateStatusbar()
{
window.status = message;
setTimeout("updateStatusbar();",timeout);
}
// End -->
</script>

</head>

<BODY onLoad="updateStatusbar()">

<a href="nextpage.htm" onMouseOver="message='Text'" onFocus="message='Text'" onBlur="message=''" onMouseOut="message=''"> Hyperlink </a>

</body>

</html>

Statusbar - effect on MouseOver:

<a href="test.html" onMouseover="status='write the message';return true">test</a>

Both of those ways works great. Thank you for the quick response.
