Hi,
It's possible to insert a script that disable the status bar to display the links when you pass over with the mouse?
I've found many Java script, does theese script work with the forum code?
Here is an example:
<script>
 
//configure status message to show
var statusmsg=""
 
function hidestatus(){
window.status=statusmsg
return true
}
 
</script>
 
Tnks for the help

It can work, but would require that you cange the code for every link in the forum (allot of work) to refernce the javascript.

Not sure why you would want to do this anyway, sites that hide the address in the status bar allways put me off as it looks like they have something to hide.

First of all, tnks for the answer.

The problem, if i can call it so, is that at the moment i'm hosting the forum on a private server of friends and they ask me if it's possible to do hide the links in the stattus bar.

-BoRg- may you be more specific pls, have i to edit avery .asp file?What do You mean with "would require that you cange the code for every link in the forum (allot of work) to refernce the javascript". Could you pls make me an example?

Tnks for the help (and sorry for my bad english )

To be able to use the JS code you posted it needs to be called by the link.

To do this you would have to edit every asp page and change any links so that when a mouse is hovered over the link it would call the JS function to hide the real link.

This would probally take many days if not weeks of work, depending how good your ASP is.

It would probally be simpler to look for a new host to host the forum on.

Also hiding the real link is not ver reliable as it ois very simple to see what the real link is, just have to look in the browser address bar or view page source.

There is a language file forum, just post a message containing a link to where the files can be downloaded.

Add this in you js file or between <head>...</head>

<script>
  function hidestatus(){
  window.status=""
  return true
  }
 </script>

Then (a little time consuming) put this between </body> and </html>

<SCRIPT>
      for(i=0; i < document.links.length; i++){
       document.links.attachEvent("onmouseover", hidestatus);
      }
 </SCRIPT>

Enjoy!
