JavaScript: Hide link from Statusbar

[mirze]

Hi!

This function hides links in MSIE but not in Mozilla - any idea about that?

Anther point: the link is visible when you click the link and while you hold down the mouse button - what can be done about that?

Another problem: you click the link, you leave the mouse in the same position - and the link becomes visible (I found a solution for this one: you just add "onclick" event to your function).

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="window.location='URL';">Howdy</a>

Another way.

Introduction:-
When you go over a link usually the URL is displayed on the status bar, this trick will hide the URL from the status bar and show nothing!

Let's Start

Here is the Code:-

<script language="Javascript">function hidestatus(){
window.status=''
return true
}

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)

document.onmouseover=hidestatus
document.onmouseout=hidestatus</script>
