Hide URL Destination in linked images

Hi,

I have just found this piece of code to allow me to link text and at the same time hide the destination URL:

<a onmouseover="window.status='You are now visiting another page';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" href="http://mywebsite.com">Clicking Here</a>

This piece of code works fine for text, but it doesn't work when hyperlinking images, can anyone tell me why and how to resolve it?

Cheers

 

Hi,

Try this, it works.

<A HREF="http://www.destination.com"
ONMOUSEOVER="window.status='Destination is here!';return true;"
ONMOUSEOUT="window.status='Destination is NOT here!';return true;">
<IMG SRC="image.gif"></A>

Good luck,

Mike

 

I just tried your code above and it's not working, does anybody have any ideas?

 

Try this...
<a href="http://mywebsite.com" onMouseOver="window.status='Go to mywebsite'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true"><img src="img.gif" width="100"></a>

 

Still not working , does it need to be a GIF file?

P.s. Their are edits to the a:hover in the CSS file, but all thats changed is the text colour and text decoration. Would this affect it?

 

really strange.. it works for me. Add any image thats just an example. I hope you are not checking this in FF. It works only in IE.
CSS cant conflict with this.

 

i have checked your site its working where you added the code (IE only).
