How to hide the status bar when hovering a link

The trick is to use window.status="hello" on a hover.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>Untitled Document</title><script>function hidestatus()
{
window.status="hello"
return true}statusmsg=""
function statusback()
{
window.status=""
return true}
</script>
</head><body><a href="sadss" onMouseover="return hidestatus()" onmouseout="return statusback()">asdasdasd</a><br />
<a href="sadss" >asdasdasd</a><br /></body>
</html>
