Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

As much as I hate trying to hide a link, and as bad practice as it is, here's how you do it:

<a href="http://www.example.com/" onmouseover="window.status='Examples!'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">Examples!</a>

But, again, please note that I do not at all recommend employing this tactic, as there is zero value to it ... and instead causes user annoyance and accessibility/usability [webmasterworld.com] problems.

hi, thanks for your help. yes you are right this will be annoying but i want to get this done at a particular place no other way. i am sorry.
Also i need an another help. if the users right click the link and go for copy shorcut they should not get the url link. there should be just html or someothe webpage file only.. this can be done using onclick. but it opens in the new window. i need it to be work in the same window. again i dont want to use functions.

i really appreciate your help..
Cheers,
