Hi mate,
You can't hide it, simply because the browser needs to know where to find it.
You can pass a query string to a script that calls the image, but the path that calls it would still be seen in the source.
Hope this helps

I know you can change the text in the status bar using javascript, like this:
But I suspect that won't change the text in the status bar until after the page (and image) is done loading. Give it a try and see.

You can use a script (PHP or ASP depending on your server ) To call an image from a "hidden" folder, by passing a string from a link.
IE
or reference it via the img src tag:
So image.php would contain the variables that would state what folder your images are in, prevent hotlinking, and assign values to your images. If you're not dealing with a Database that would hold your infomration, many scripts would just say number your images 01-XXX .
IE
Code:
<a href="image.php?Id=203">This image</a>or reference it via the img src tag:

<img src="image.php?id=203">So image.php would contain the variables that would state what folder your images are in, prevent hotlinking, and assign values to your images. If you're not dealing with a Database that would hold your infomration, many scripts would just say number your images 01-XXX .
