@pyroJul 23.2003 — Something like this should do it for those with javascript enabled:

<a href="http://www.w3c.org" onmouseover="window.status=''; return true;">W3C</a>

@pyroJul 23.2003 — You can't do it without javascript, so the link will show up for them...

@neenach2002authorJul 23.2003 — is there any way to keep it from displaying path when it's loading the page?

@David_HarrisonJul 23.2003 — Try this:

[upl-file uuid=fe24bf7e-d85b-4287-ae83-0f88d53a5529 size=288B]status stays.txt[/upl-file]

@David_HarrisonJul 23.2003 — Well you said it yourself pyro:You can't do it without javascript[/QUOTE]

It's a function that sets the status bar to your message, and then after 1ms it runs itself again, so that if someone has moved over a link or something it will change the status back to your message.

Of course the function has to be run before it will do anything so right after it, it gets run.

@pyroJul 23.2003 — This would seem to me to be a far better way of doing that, as you really don't need to throw the browser into an endless loop.

Once the page loads, this will step through all the links and set the status to be blank...

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function setLinks() {
for (i=0; i&lt;document.links.length; i++) {
document.links[i].onmouseover = function () {
window.status="";
return true;
}
}
}
window.onload = setLinks;
&lt;/script&gt;

@David_HarrisonJul 23.2003 — What about when a link is being clicked? The status bar for that cannot be controlled.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@pyroJul 23.2003 — Once you click the link, you're on your way to that address anyway...
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@David_HarrisonJul 23.2003 — What I mean is, not when the link has been click, but while it is being clicked.
