disable status bar or mouse over function

[fairfaxVB]

Hi Friends,

Could we disable status bar on left buttom on borrow window by javascript?

My client does like to display URL information of item/pages on the status bar because we use index as home pages.

Users are still see page url by mouse over link item.
Any ideal? thanks for help.

You could detect onmouseover events and use window.status to blank out the status bar.

Not sure if this is an IE only type solution or not.

Someone else may have a better solution.

This works:
<a href="mylink.html" onmouseover="window.status = 'click here'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status = '';">click here</a>

Or you setup an event handler for onmouseover and onmouseout so it applies to the whole page rather than setting it up in each anchor.
Of course if you use mouse events for other things on the page you would have to compensate for them.
