Link Status Text

[FluxForums]

By including mouseover, the browsers status area will display the type
message when the link is hovered over. This is great for hidin
affiliate links
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/" ONMOUSEOVER="window.status='Whateve
you want to display;return true;" ONMOUSEOUT="window.status='';retur
true;"

While the city slept, FluxForums <Fl***************@mail.fluxforums.com>
feverishly typed:

By including mouseover, the browsers status area will display the
typed message when the link is hovered over. This is great for hiding
affiliate links.
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/"
ONMOUSEOVER="window.status='Whatever you want to display;return
true;" ONMOUSEOUT="window.status='';return true;">

And also great for interfering with the browser's normal functionality.
Please do not hijack my browser's status bar. If you want to provide some
further info on a link, use the title attribute: <a href="whatever.html"
title="Whatever you want to display">blah</a> Also works when javascript is
disabled!

Cheers,
Nige

That code does absolutely NOTHING to my status bar, try again.
