how to hide completely window status

using frames

[soapystar]

im trying to hide an affiliate link...when u click a link on the main page the affilliate link opens in a frame so the in the address bar the url is hidden.....ive tried putting the following tags before the scr part of the frame url :

onmouseover="window.status='http://www..net/;return true;"
onmouseout="window.status='http://www..net/ ';return true;"
onclick="window.status='http://www..net/ ';return true;"
onload="window.status='http://www..net/ ';return true;"

but for about a second the window status still shows the affilate url..is there anyway to overcome this?

The only other way to obscure the status bar that I have seen is to control it right from the start. I know sites that like to [shudder] have a message scroll there. Maybe you could play with the setTimeout to loop what you want continously. I don't know what sorts of problems you may find with doing that though. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
