Maybe I'm stupid, but what is 'status bar view'?

'status bar view'

I think it's the satus bar, grey bar at the bottom of your browser.

It's disabled by default on IE6 (on XP), and can e disabled with javascript by using status=no in the definition of your window.open() function.

Don't know if you're not using a 'popup' window, but I what you want to achieve is hide the links url on mouse over you could use the window.defaultStatus="" as

I wouldn't thank you for removing my status bar. I don't like sites that do that and I usually add it back on again to see what they were hiding.

Likewise hiding the URL just makes me more curious.

hi RonPK

I mean to say "status bar" under view menu of IE.

le_gber - u right, it is gray bar on browser bottom.

I am not using popup window.

thanks

why do you want to hide it?

If it's to hide the url then
<body onload="window.defaultStatus='';"> is working (I just re-read what I wrote and it wasn't clear).
