How can I stop showing URLs at bottom of browser?

I would like to stop showing URLs at bottom of browser in following cases:

1. When someone moves with mouse to images on my site to click, I don't want to show at bottom of browser my 'affiliate' URL! How can I do that?

2. When visitors coming to my site, I also don't want to show URLs at bottom of browser when my site is downloading!

How can I do above mentioned? Which code do I need to add?

Many thanks!

 

Try this for the links:

<a href="yourlink.com" onMouseOver="window.status='text of custom message'; return true">linking text</a>

Doesn't work in all browsers.

 

It works jestep but not in firefox.
I dont think there is any option for firefox

 

u need a bit of javascript that changes the staus bar, there is one you can get to change status bar to whatever u want.

 

Try setting the href to blank and resetting it on onmousedown.

 

Check this out if it helps -

Disable the status bar message from appearing on all links, indiscriminately, with this powerful script!

I was trying to figure the opposite problem this morning - I have a css rollover link and the url will NOT show up when you stick the mouse over it

Not using any js anywhere
