Hi,

I would like to replace what is displayed in the status bar, i.e. remove an email address when user does a mouseover on a mail link or similar.

Is there a module available or something that I can alter to do this?

Thanks

There's http://drupal.org/project/spamspan and http://drupal.org/project/gtspam and there may be more.

Please post back which one you will be using and - preferably - why.

Thanks but this is not quite what I am looking to do.

I want to dsiable or remove the status bar content in a browser when moving the mouse over any link on a webpage, i.e. show something different or nothing at all.

thanks

Ah I get it. Well then you're pretty much out of luck. You used to be able to access the status bar using window.status but IIRC the modern browsers don't allow access to the status bar.

Just out of curiosity; why would you want to do that?

Looks like darthspringbok won't be posting any feedback so I'm setting this to fixed.

Feel free to reopen if you think that is wrong.

Hi,

I am facing the same issue.

I will try to explain what exactly is needed.

In the good old plain HTML days we could customize the message on the status bar (http://www.htmlbasix.com/statusbarmessage.shtml).

Is this possible in Drupal? Either hide or change what is displayed on the status bar?

REASON:

The reason behind doing this is that I have used an iframe containing a page that has a lot of links. Whenever user hovers over a link, the status bar displays the external link (of the original page in the iframe). Obviously I don't want user to think he is getting 3rd party content on my website.
