Hiding a Javascript link in the status bar - 1/14/2004 16:42:12
I am starting with JavaScript now because it seems to be much more powerful than HTML. My question is: If I've got a link which runs a JavaScript, how can you hide it from being shown, at the bottom of the page? (At the status bar)
The page is at: http://balearicus.com/fotos/fotos.htm
Put the mouse over the link "Fotos del cole" and look in the status bar.
Thanks,
XeNoN

You'd be better off spending your energy learning Cascading Style Sheets. Javascript is nice for some bells and whistles, but building a site based on it will alienate the many people who have Javascripting turned off in their browsers.
And I - like many others- don't like it when people mess with MY status bar. I don't return to sites that mess with my windows or turn off my functions (removing my navigation buttons, resizing, no right click, etc.) Not a good idea!

Hi XeNoN ,
Peppergal has a very good point about tampering with the status bar. I don't like this myself.
But, if you must do something, I think it would be more acceptable to do a status bar message instead of masking the links.
Java Status Bar Link Message
<A HREF="http://frontpag.bizland.com" onMouseOver="window.status='Visit FrontPageForms for easy to use Form Tutorials.'; return true">FrontPageForms</A>
If you absolutely must mask links ...
This script will mask specific links ... which would take care of the specific link you were concerned with while leaving the rest alone.

This one hides status for all links on page ... which will likely PO many visitors.

<script language="JavaScript">
function s_display(s_message){
status=s_message;
return true;
}
function s_clear(){
status="";
return true;
}
</script>
then on the links make them look like this:
<a href="page.htm" onMouseOver='return s_display("Your Message Here");' onMouseOut='return s_clear();'>Your Link</a>
Thats how I do it
