    I need to hide a link's URL in the status bar.. how do I do this?

    I have a legit reason for needing to mask the file's URL.

    erm... thanks for the help. I've tried java script solutions found online, but it didn't work for firefox.

    I'm looking for protection from the status bar and 'copy link location'. My programming team are very busy working on a full protection system including admin section. Getting any programmer on board involves time because people aren't just sitting around waiting for me to contact them. They have their other clients' work to finish first. What I'm looking for right now is an immediate thing I can quickly put into effect myself, even if it is light protection it's better than none at all.

    you can use this:
    
    <a href="http://www.google.com" onMouseOver="window.status=''; return true;">Google</a>
    
    Code (markup):
    *some browsers might not work with this script and if javascript is turned off, they can still see the url.

    you can use this:
    
    <a onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com'" style="cursor:pointer">Google</a>
    
    Code (markup):
    *this should work better ;)
