Hi All.

I've used HTML in the past, but am using it again for the first time in a while, so I'm a little rusty.

I have a situation where when the user "mouses over" a link, the name of the webpage and folders appear in the status bar message.

How do I remove this information from the status bar? Any ideas?

Taken from Dreamweaver


between <head> tags:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function MM_displayStatusMsg(msgStr) { //v1.0
status=msgStr;
document.MM_returnValue = true;
}
//-->
</script>


On your link:

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;MM_displayStatusMsg('test');return document.MM_returnValue&quot;>test</a>


MM_displayStatusMsg('test') = designates message. In example, test will appear in the status bar.

Dreamweaver's scripts have never been short and simple (as they could be).
The same thing but more simple:

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onmouseover=&quot;window.status='message'&quot; onmouseout=&quot;window.status=''&quot;>test</a>
