Hiding the destination url, when using href in PHP?
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have the following line in my PHP file.
echo"<a class='menu' href='http://www.royallays.co.uk' target='_top'>Royal
Lays</a>";
How can I change it, so that instead of displaying the web url in Internet
Explorers status bar (bottom left), it displays something more meaningful
like "Royal Lays (UK SITE)"?
Thanks, Mark

By using a small bit of java script:
echo "<a class='menu' href='http://www.royallays.co.uk'
onmouseover='status=\"Royal Lays (UK SITE)\"; return true'
onmouseout='status=\"\"; return true'
target='_top'>Royal Lays</a>";

That works a treat - thanks very much :-)

| What about Mozilla, and Netscape Browsers it seems to ignore the
status completely when using this example?

IE understands that with 'status', 'window.status' is implied. Gecko engine
based browsers do not, so 'window.status' should be used instead.
