how to hide status bar message (even when mouse down)?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 16.2005

I have checked from lots of javascript source and got the following code:

[CODE]
function hidestatus(){
window.status=”
return true
}

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)

document.onmouseover=hidestatus
document.onmouseout=hidestatus
[/CODE]

But this function only works when mouse over and out, if I press the link, I still can see the link detail from status bar. Would you tell me how to completely hide status message even mouse down and click.

Thank you!

@Roshdy25Jan 01.2008 — <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function hidestatus(){

window.status='';

return true;

}

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT | Event.MOUSEDOWN | Event.ONCLICK | Event.MOUSEMOVE | Event.MOUSEUP);

document.onmouseover=hidestatus;
document.onmouseout=hidestatus;
document.onclick =hidestatus;
document.onmousemove=hidestatus;
document.onmouseup=hidestatus;
document.onmousedown =hidestatus
</script>

@CentauriJan 01.2008 — Hiding the status bar text can be considered an accessibility issue. I use status bar url display to decide whether to open a link in the same or a new tab....
