How to hide links on browser's statusbar when you mouseover on links on webpage?

Question

I am using Zend, PHP, AJAX, JQuery in my projects. Question is that how can I force to not display a link on browser\'s statusbar when I mouseover on a link on my webpage.

Answer 1

The status bar highlighting happens only when you use an element with a set href.

If you use pure JavaScript to open your link, and don't assign a href attribute, nothing will turn up in the status bar.
