INTRO:

I have already searched the web about this, and found something like "friendly URL's", but they don't do the job exactly as I want.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM:

I want to convert (hyper)link to some words to appear in the line on the bottom of the browser

EXAMPLE:

<a href='http://www.somesite.com/somedir/somefile.htm'>123</a>

this would show:

http://www.somesite.com/somedir/somefile.htm

and I need it to display some/any text i design:

for exapmle:

this link takes you to this section

Can this be done trough PHP, or Javascript or what ??

THANKS AHEAD!

that's javascript:

Code: Select all

<a href='somepath' onmouseover='window.status="This link bla bla"' >Some link</a>
