    window.status in Firefox ?

    Hey there,
    do you know what's the alternative of "window.status='Something'" for FireFox, Mozilla, and such a browsers.

    Window.status works pretty good in IE, but in Firefox it doesn't work.
    Please tell me an alternative if it's available ?

    Thanks.

    Hm i dont know... this is a long version of the window status, in firefox it works, only when you right click on the link it shows the real link. In IE it works perfectly, right click doesnt show the real link.
    <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/blablarefcodesomethingsomething" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.mydomain.com/';return true;" onfocus="window.status='http://www.mydomain.com/';return true;" onmouseout="self.status='';return true;">
    But i think you want a code for firefox that doesnt shows the real link with right click right? (like IE does with this code)

      Yeh that works in IE, but not FireFox...it doesn't show the sponsor URL though, just leaves the status bar blank

                    It's disabled by default

                    Tools -> Options -> Web Features -> Javascript "Advanced" -> Check "Change status bar message"

                      Damn, you're right dude !!

                      Thanks a lot. But that sucks because people who haven't that option enabled won't be able to see status bar message

                      Anyways, thx. for an info!


                      btw. IS there any tip how to beat that? How to use status bar, if it's disabled ?

                                          I'd probably change it to this, just so all the people with JS disabled wouldn't go to http://www.FAKEURL.com/

                                          <script>
                                          document.write('<a href="http://www.FAKEURL.com/" onclick="this.href='TARGETURL';"></a>')
                                          </script>
                                          <noscript>
                                          <a href="http://www.TARGETURL.com/"></a>
                                          </noscript>


                                          Just to be on the safe side.

                                            Damn, this one works!! But the main problem is that because link must be clicked at least once before

                                            it can't display that 'TARGET URL' text in first mouseover. That's the problem This one is working just like onfocus.

                                                  They would try to follow this url: http://www.FAKEURL.com/

                                                    yes, I think that too. They're following the first href ... and they are already there.

                                                      I wish there was an extension to show the real url in the status bar instead of either disabling it or showing the spoofed url.

                                                        Well, I think that's not possible... Because, if people have that option (status bar text) disabled, then it's very hard to beat it, and I think it's not possible.

                                                        But what's the problem with spoofed URL ;) Actually it does the same as like as window.status ;) RIght ?

                                                          As an experienced surfer, I like to know where links are taking me... and it would help me keep an eye on cheaters on my sites.

                                                            you're right. But there is nothing spoofed. That's just for some scripts. For example comus. It has structure of out link as like as: /cx.php?i=14135&s=70&g=row1&t=1 and you don't know where you're going , right ?

                                                            So in template you use this.href option and then enter real link. So when the surfer rollover the link he'll get in his status bar message of real link (real url). And when he clicks on the link he'll be redirected through the script and then to trade or to the real link ;)

                                                            That's the story all about ;)
