Although I can hide the link to a new URL on the status bar by adding
: "onMouseOver="self.status='';return true" onMouseOut="self.status='';return true"

When the mouse is clicked to select the link, the URL is seen again on the status bar. How do I hide it

Try adding the same code as an onclick event

Or maybe something like:
Code:
<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourDomainName.com&quot;[/URL] onclick=&quot;this.href='test.html'&quot;>Click Here</a>

Though the onmouseover/onclicks will degrade better (when javascript is off).

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
 
I am afraid neither of the two suggestions worked, I still see the link to the new URL when I click the mouse, any further ideas??

Just tested mine in IE6 and Firebird 0.7 and it is working as expected. The only time you see the link to the new URL is when you are at the new page, I never see it in the status bar.

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
 
there is a better way to hide it permanently:
<script>
setInterval("status=''",100)
</script>

no need to add any other code (in any of the links)...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
