Hello Warriors,

Thank you for your swift replies and help in the past. I'm truly grateful and happy to find great designers, programmers and JV partners all in one place...

I thank God for you all...

Here is a new and big challenge - to me anyway, which requires your attention and honest response.

I don't really think it's fine calling my programmer every single moment to do some little thing for me when I know that I have got some basic knowledge of html... coupled with good and helpful people around here.

The problem here is this: I want to create some link that does not display below the browser when rolled over by the mouse. I don't know if it requires contacting my programmer OR is it some little coding I can handle.

If I can handle it, some good Samaritan should please give me a clue to how I can fix that.

Thank you to you good people in advance.

Kennedy.

    So, you're saying you want to change the status bar on the browser. Well, it used to be easy by using javascript.

    <a href="link_here.php" onmouseover="javascript:window.status='Status Bar Message'; return true;" onmouseout="javascript:window.status=''; return true;">Hover over me!</a>

    However, due to the abuse of the function (phishing attack,etc), most (newer) major browsers disable status bar messages by default.

    If you want to change the default link, i suggest using some kind of plugin to disguise it, like this simple plugin for WP (Simple URLs - A Plugin For WordPress)

      Hello Fahmzie,

      The problem is that the link is not in a WP site. It wouldn't have been a lot of stress were it a WP site.

    Well, if you make $250,000 even without a product... you should be able to hire a permanent webmaster and keep him/her busy 8 hrs per day to solve your issues.
    Pretty simple.

      Dear Istvan Horvath,

      Try to see things from the light of the truth. If you'd visited the page, you'd have realized how that money came about.

      If you can dig deep before making certain statements, I bet you will enjoy a more successful life.

      Visit the page and see how long it took the maker to acquire such amount, okay?

      So, if you know anything about the coding, I will be glad to learn some light programming language from you.

        Hi Louis,

        You'll most probably need your programmer's help with this one.

    There is simply no way to do this that is 100% foolproof. As Fahmzie mentioned, you can use Javascript to cloak what people will see in the status bar, but that will not work at all for a significant percentage of your site's visitors, due to their browser's default configuration.
