while searching for java scripts I did land on this one and did tried it on and seem working well over 3.6.9. Please not I dont take any credits away from its original creator but it does come quiet handy for protecting your links

Directions

Step 1: Simply insert the following into the <HEAD> section of your page:

<script>

//Hide status bar msg II script- by javascriptkit.com
//Visit JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com) for script
//Credit must stay intact for use

function hidestatus(){
window.status=''
return true
}

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)

document.onmouseover=hidestatus
document.onmouseout=hidestatus
</script>

Once installed, the status bar is muted.

for more info see link itself http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/hidestatus2.shtml :D

yes the get to the url if they click on the link but not seen while loading your own pages but there can be delays if you do have few scripts hosted elsewhere that wont stop relay reaching them but on your forum is always few pages you do like hiding off from others

your right on one thing if one needs to hack or search deeper is always other ways
;)

also was one on here that would only show your DOMAIN Name but lots said it was buged and didnt seem to work well for all ... this one did for time being
I myself would had like having mine fixed and working good for all platforms till then will wait until someone wakeup and sending it in for us newbe

Hi
You need to edit your Thread it should read
You missed the opening tag as <script>
Also your thread title is EI should it be IE

<script>

//Hide status bar msg II script- by javascriptkit.com
//Visit JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com) for script
//Credit must stay intact for use

function hidestatus(){
window.status=''
return true
}

if (document.layers)
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEOVER | Event.MOUSEOUT)

document.onmouseover=hidestatus
document.onmouseout=hidestatus
</script>

will this also force any 'done but with errors on page' NOT to show? I hope the answer is yes
