Win XP SP 2 prevents JavaScript hiding ("status=no") of the status bar

[deeaccess]

Hi All,

I am developing a site for a client in DVR industry, which monitors clients homes/businesses using cameras. They want to provide a web service to their clients where they can log on thru the browser to view their cameras. However, the company doesn't want to give the URL away to their security cameras. So I am requiring users to login. Thereafter, I am trying to hide actual URL. With service pack 2, it seems like my Java Script is being blocked and you can see the status bar which basically shows the URL.

Is there anything I can do prevent showing the URL on the statusbar with Service Pack 2 installed?

Thank you

You could try something like:

<a href="somepage.html" onmouseover="window.status=''; return(true);" onmouseout="window.status='';">link</a>

Be aware that in Firefox, by default, modification of the status bar is disabled.

Hope this helps,
Dan
