Hide link - 11/25/2007 8:50:16
I have a link on a page (intranet) which links to an FTP Server. I wish to hide the URL. Once you place the mouse over the link, the URL is easily copied or viewed at the bottom of your browser or opened in another browser window. I've been to pages where the link is a java type link. Any idea how its done?
Thanks

Not sure why you want to hide it rather than remove it? But you could remove it from view easily by adding a style rule for the link like this:
<a href="whatever.ftp" class="hidethis">linky</a>
and in the stylesheet:
.hidethis {position:absolute; left: -999px;}

hahaha that made is VANISH COMPLETLY!!!!!! I guess I asked for that one!!!!
What I need is
- to hide the URL should somone do a "right click" and "view source".
- to hide it in the status bar
- to disable to option for anyone to shift/click the link and the URL appearing the a new browser.
Something VERY similar is the "Fast Reply" button at the bottom of this very page!!

You will be searching forever for this. Some might be able to provide a few workarounds but in the end someone else will be able to hack it
If you don't want others to see it, don't put it on the site. Give the URL in an email to the individuals that need it

What I am trying to do is force a user to take the long way and not go directly to the ftp site. Need hits :)

Agree, but:
Make the hyperlink the same color as the page background and put it in an off-traffic area. An entire page mouse hilite will pick it up, of course, but I would think this work around reduces reduces the possiblity of a visitor click through appreciably.
