Blocking URL's?

Post by thefreebielife »

I am not sure if this is the right place but here goes...

I know I have seen this done before but don't know how to do.

Say i have a url (in this case that is inserted into a MYSQL DB Table, and is the link for an image) that is http://www.google.com. How to I get it to not show that URL in the bottom left hand side of the browser when the image is highlighted?

For example could i make it show: http://www.thefreebielife.com/1 ?

This sounds like the old (and rather silly) trick of setting the window status. Are you sure you want to do that?

+1 nickvd. I may take the time to look at the source, but even then I am reluctant to click a link whose location I cannot see.

I would be reluctant to to visit a site again if I clicked on a link that was supposed to go somewhere but instead took me somewhere else.

Lol no, i run an incentive based site, and I don't want the users to see my affiliates.

They still know where they are going by the picture though.

So what is this called?
