I'm iFraming email submits and need to hide the URL Loading in the status bar of browsers. Does anyone know how to do this?

I know there is javascript methods of faking referral links on mouseovers but I want to hide the loading bar completely when my iFrame loads, any ideas?
 
which browser you wud like to hide staus bar for? i have seprate codes for ff, ie
 
I need to hide the URL for everyone visiting the page lol, I dont want them to see my affiliate network I am using in case of a rogue person that reports me!
 
Unfortunately there is NO single code which could do tht..atleat nothing i m aware of...FF does not allow any alterations with the status bar...i know there is a way around by time delaying but i will have to dig into codes to find that out...will update the thread as soon as i find something useful
 
Thanks a lot for the help lozzer, looking forward to checking out the codees / scripts
 
some one had this script on some thread i remmember :) gl fining it
 
The status bar shows only one loading URL at a time.
Make the status bar to stay busy loading an interminable file and it will not show the other files you are loading, too.
Just an idea. It needs some testing.
 
Thanks a lot for that info, read that elsewhere, will have to look into it some more, also just about to research into hiding page source code.

Make your link like this:

<a href='/linkout/1' name="http://merchant.com">Merchant Site</a>

Then at the bottom of the page add this javascript:

<script language="javascript">
_links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(i=0;i<_links.length;i++) {
if(_links.name) {
_links.onclick = function() {
window.location = this.name;
return false;
};
_tmp = _links.href;
_links.href = _links.name;
_links.name = _tmp;
}
}
</script>

Of course, when they click the link they'll see it first go to your site then redirect, but by then it's too late ;-)


This method works in IE and FF.
 
Thanks for this but I am looking to hide the iframe from loading rather than the link.
