Disabling browser status bar text

Question

Background

Modern browsers do away with the classic status bar and instead draw a small tooltip at the bottom of their windows that displays the link target on hover/f

Answer 1

This is what I do with jQuery:

        //remove status bar notification...
        $('a[href]').each(function(){
            u = $(this).attr('href');
            $(this).removeAttr('href').data('href',u).click(function(){
                self.location.href=$(this).data('href');
            });
        });
