There is loads of discussion about users not clicking through a link if they realize it is an affiliate link..... :o

so if you want to hide the links from the status bar of the browser just paste the following script 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>

if you do this the status bar at the bottom of the browser displays nothing.

Please note, this works ONLY with IE
if you know of a similar script that works with Firefox please post it here B-)

I just found that it doesn't work on IE either....

sorry about this, the scrip was working locally when I tested my page on IE but when I uploaded the site to the host, one could see the status bar....

if you know a working script please post here

I use something like:

Code:
<a href="http://affilatesite.com/id=12345678" onmouseover="window.status='http://realsite.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;>Visit Realsite.com</a>

Where "http://affilatesite.com/id=12345678" is the real (affiliate) link target and "http://realsite.com" is the link I want to appear in the status bar.
