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>
