How Can I Disguise A Link In The Scrollbar?

Hi,

On my website I'm linking using an affiliate link but I would like the scrollbar to display the URL without the affiliate code, so instead of it showing http://www.mtkmka.com/myaffiliatecode.html, I'd like it to just show http://www.mtkmka.com/


Is this possible? If so, how?

I've tried with JavaScript, and it works offline, but when I view the page online it just shows the scrollbar as being empty when I hover over the link.



Thanks for any help

 

i'm not sure but you probably mean statusbar and not scrollbar, also this is a browser thingy, its there for security, it's there to show information about a link so i'm not sure if you can manipulate it that way, good lucj anyways

 

Okay, thanks for the help.

So would the best way of doing it simply be by adding a redirect?

 

Possibly use a href tag, but a onclick attribute to return false causing the href link not to activate but using a window.location (or document.location) to redirect the user.

Although:
- Can't remember if this does work, or ever did
- Disabling JS would loose you the affiliate income.

I would suggest you to go for a tinyurl kinda of link which will hide your entire code
