Link Rollover Help

[MrChaz]

When you place your cursor over a link it shows the location of the link in the lower left spot.

Like so.



It will say like, http://www.htmlforums.com/usercp.php?

Now how do i change that? I dont want it to show the location of the link.

I just want it to say like. "Welcome to Blah Blah."

<A href="link.html" onmouseover="window.status='statusbar message here'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">Link text</A>


its pretty easy :D

Wont work...

*BUMP*

Still need help, if Marlos code is the right code i need help on where it goes.

[blackpepper]

the code works. try it in a browser with status bar enabled, and javascript enabled (obviously)

then that would go in between the body tag of your page, just like any other link would. post your code if your still having dificulties.

Tested in IE and Firefox and works fine

Wont work in Opera or netscape though.
