View Full Version : Redirecting URL

I would like to put a URL link on a webpage, but I need it to hit my server first - for stats.

What I don't know how to do, is set it up so the user will see the direct URL and not the re-direct URL at the bottom in the status bar.

It is really quite easy to control the status message at the bottom of the screen once you know how. The easiest way I believe is to use JavaScript
within the <HEAD></HEAD> area of the page type the following

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

function stMsg(msg){
window.staus = msg;
document.returnValue = true;
}
//->
</SCRIPT>

now all you do is add the following to any href statements

onMouseOver='stMsg("your message");document.returnValue';
onMouseOut='stMsg("");document.returnValue;'

this should work if you put your message in.

Thank-you for your reply. Out of all the places I have posted this question, this is the first reply.


Of course, being a beginner, I am having problems. I have included the code as I see it.

Currently, the "****" is linked, but the display says "www.breddam.com", when I am trying to have it say "test"

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function stMsg(msg){
window.staus = msg;
document.returnValue = true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<a href=http://www.breddam.com
onMouseOver='stMsg"test");document.returnValue;'

onMouseOut='stMsg("");document.returnValue;'
>******</a>

</BODY>
</HTML>


Thanks in advanced
