Is there a script to cloak links in the status bar?

HI there I was trying to find a script that can cloak your links by not showing the link addy in the status bar. Can someone give me a link where to get one from??

 

yeah there is... some mouseover script..

google for "status bar link script" or something like that

 

Insert this into your anchor tags:

onMouseover="Javascript return window.status('www.thiswebsite.com');"

See if that helps!

Anyone know if this method flags IE 7 to generate the phishing alert? Also, firefox doesn't recognize this, your status bar will be blank.

 

This isn't exactly what you want, but it works decent for me. I create a php page with the following code:

<?php
header ("location: http://www.youraffiliatelinkhere.com\reallylongname?id=toolong=less$$$");
?>

Than I just link to the php page. So the ugly link is cloaked and instead shows http://yoursite.com/yourphpfile.php.

This goes to the php file than redirects it to the affiliate page. I usually keep the link short and relevant to the topic on hand. I also place it in a folder called "go", but you can do it however. Hop this helps.
