masking links 1

[Fazzman]

Does anyone know the best way (or any way) of masking links in Frontpage 2000? How do I go about it? For example I have an affiliate website. I wish to mask my affiliate links (both graphics and text) so that when visitors click on the link they only see the links website address rather than my affiliate id link!
Hope someone can help! Thanks.

I think I understand your question correctly. You can do this by looking for the HTML tag
<A HREF=&quot;websitetogoto.com&quot;>your id</A>
The &quot;your id&quot; part is what the user will see on the site. You can change this to whatever you like and the location won't change. The HREF part controls that.
If you want to display a graphic as a link, you insert the path to the image where the &quot;your id&quot; part is and it displays the image as link
example
<A HREF=&quot;websitetogoto.com&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot;

http://www.your

site.com/images/graphic.jpg&quot;></A>

Hope this helps.

Your questioning the ? with parameters. Use javascript to mask the window status.

<a href=&quot;mylink.com?id=345&quot; onMouseover=&quot;window.status=('This is what is seen in the status'); return true;&quot; onMouseout=&quot;window.status=(''); return true;&quot;>

They can still check it by view>source. DeZiner
