I'm using a dot.tk address so I have my site hosted somewhere else. Is there any way to "hide" the link at the bottom left corner of the screen - like when the page is loading it'll say 'Opening page http://www....' or if you roll over a link it shows the link down there.

I dont really want everybody to see where my site is hosted because its my parents business - of course its not hard to find out...but the people who will be viewing the site wont be interested...I just dont want it to be so obvious.

So is there any way to put words there so that wont show up, or just make it go away all together?

<a href="blah.html" onMouseOver="window.status='dont peek!';" onMouseOut="window.status='Done';">Blah!!</a>

thanks, but that didnt work. :(

edit:
A little modified it works - for future reference its:
<A HREF="page.html" onMouseOver="window.status='';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">internal link</a>

Ok, new question. How do I put it in an image map? I tried..didnt work.

Here's the code for the map:

<map name="mymap">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="2,41,84,80" HREF="main.html" alt="blog" target="iframe">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="87,41,164,81" HREF="more.html" alt="more stuff" target="iframe">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="167,42,272,80" HREF="tag.html" alt="tag board" target="iframe">
</map>

If you said that

<A HREF="page.html" onMouseOver="window.status='';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">internal link</a>

worked, then in theory

<map name="mymap">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="2,41,84,80" HREF="main.html" alt="blog" target="iframe" onMouseOver="window.status='';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="87,41,164,81" HREF="more.html" alt="more stuff" target="iframe" onMouseOver="window.status='';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">
<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="167,42,272,80" HREF="tag.html" alt="tag board" target="iframe" onMouseOver="window.status='';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">
</map>

should work as well.
