Dont want to show address in the status bar while hovering a link

Question

How can I prevent showing web address at the status bar while hovering a hyperlink?

Answer 1

You could change your hyperlink to use JavaScript to navigate to the URL. For example, if you wanted a link to http://conglomo.co.nz/:

Conglomo

Although this is not as pretty as changing window.status (which does not work for everyone due to browser settings) it will hide the URL from the status bar completely.
