Form Submit Button - Displays link in Status Bar?

I have created a form to be filled out prior to downloading a Trial Program from my web site. The idea is to have the "requestor" fill out the form. Upon clicking the "Submit Form" button, an Email is sent to my email address with the contents of the form... and at the same time the "requestor" is transferred to the download page. All this is routine.

The Problem is that if the "requestor's" Curser Arrow is placed over the "Submit Form" button, the internal link to the Download Page is revealed in the Status Bar. The result of this is that the "requestor" can type the link in the Address Bar, avoid submitting the form, and be transported to the download page... thus avoiding the form. I have not designated the Submit Form button as a HyperLink.

Any thoughts??

Thank you

<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;Button1&quot; value=&quot;Download Trial&quot; onMouseover=&quot;window.status=('What to see in Status'); return true;&quot; onMouseout=&quot;window.status=(''); return true;&quot;

What to see in Status= Change to anything or leave as &quot;&quot; to leave status blank. The onMouseout returns the status to a blank state. Add this in HTML view DeZiner
