Hide Links in Status Bar

If you wanted to hide some affiliate links to let visitor to sign up under you, probably you might need to use some dirty tricks like me on previous post (sorry for that). I’ve found a simple code from THIS blog(Florchakh Dot Com).

For example, you shows YouTube link on public instead of showing the direct address to Google.com. Click YouTube to try it out!

<a href=”http://youtube.com” onclick=”parent.location.href=’http://www.google.com’; return event.returnValue=false”>YouTube </a>

So far it works on FireFox and IE6, but I don’t know whether it works on IE7. Anyone who are using IE7 you might feel free to try on it.

(I assume my visitors know what is Status Bar :D)

    It looks like no one uses IE7 =)

    However, code that you used works properly even in Internet Errorer, the second one (comment added by Mark below the post) is questionable…

    I realised it links to the ‘real’ page if only I left clicked it.
    If I right click and select open in a new window, it gives me Youtube which is the fake one.
    btw, im using IE7.
