Hopefully this isn't too difficult to implement and someone can help me out.
I am working on a rough draft of a web page and I have some homemade buttons that cycle between two colors. When you hover over these buttons (or any other link on the page, for that matter), you can see the full URL in the status bar or whatever at the bottom left corner of the screen. I know there is a way to hide that, but I'm not sure A) how simple it is to do this or B) if it's worth the bother to try it.
Here is the sample code I have to alternate between two colors on mouseover.
<a href="THIS IS THE URL THAT I DON'T WANT SHOWING IN THE STATUS BAR." onMouseOver="document.the_imageL.src='images/btnLogonRed.gif';" onMouseOut="document.the_imageL.src='images/btnLogonBlue.gif';"> <img src="images/btnLogonBlue.gif" name="the_imageL" alt="LOGON" width="120" height="120" border="0"></a>

Are you talking about the nav buttons, i.e. Home, Talon, Projects, etc. Wait, maybe I should ask, is this for dr1665.com? Cause if it is, you got it chief. On mouseover, the url does not show. But I am using a modded Firefox browser, so IDK how the person with IE 6 sees it...
EDIT: Just saw the links at the bottom, are you talking about those? BTW, good looking site you got there. You still using Dreamweaver or Frontpage?

<a href="http://www.2gnt.com/" onmouseout="window.status=' '; return true" onmouseover="window.status='Either leave this blank or change it to something else'; return true">Website</a>

So I could just change the code blocks I'm using to look like this?
<a href="THIS IS THE URL THAT I DON'T WANT SHOWING IN THE STATUS BAR." onMouseOver="document.the_imageL.src='images/btnLogonRed.gif' window.status=''; return true;" onMouseOut="document.the_imageL.src='images/btnLogonBlue.gif' window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/btnLogonBlue.gif" name="the_imageL" alt="LOGON" width="120" height="120" border="0"></a>
I'll have to give this a shot.
My home page on DR1665.com was made from a template and had existing code in it already. I think that code is a bit complex and you can even see where I was lazy and just saved my images with the same names as the originals (the template being for a theatre group). I think "Talon" is actually saved/coded as "Shows."
It's getting there. Decided to drop the DSM magazine-style article project and focus on Betty.

No problem. I was asking myself the same question when someone showed it to me... "How in the fuck did I not find this earlier?"
Edit: Be sure to check out the IETab preferences for things like webpages that only work in IE. You can set it so that whenever you pull that page it automatically switches to the IE tab.

Speaking of javascipting, have you used Greasemonkey? It's another extension on FF that lets you "rewrite" the code to how it shows up, etc. I did it to my myspace home page, and it is impressive.

Hrm, I haven't come across it. I'll check it out, thanks for the heads up.

It's basically DHTML. You have to have knowledge of CSS, HTML, and Javascript. You can write it in notepad, then save that doc to the desktop as "YOURFILENAMEHERE.username.js". Greasemonkey will then let install it for you. You have to add the pages it applies to..so an example is http://home.myspace.com/index/cfm*
