[thelist] Javascipt Status Question

Hello.

This is my first post to this list so I appologize in advance if this isn't
in the correct format.

My question is:

I am using a URL forwarding and masking tool for a website.  However, even
though the URL is masked, the status bar will show the 'real' location of a
link.  To correct this, I am using the OnMouseOver event handler with the
link to change the status message.

My problem is with some image links that I have that are using the familiar
MM_SwapImage functions to handle the image rollovers.  I can't change the
status message because these functions are being used with the event
handler.

I tried putting the window.status into the functions but they don't work.

I also thought maybe I could run two functions on one event handler but that
doesn't seem to work either.

Any suggestions?



AS USED IN THE HTML PAGE

<div align="right"><a href="index.php" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image1','','images/but_home_r.gif',1)"v><IMG
SRC="images/but_home.gif" WIDTH=94 HEIGHT=14 ALT="" border="0"
name="Image1"></a></div>

ACTUAL FUNCTIONS

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
  var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++)

}

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length;

    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
