E-mail links in Dreamweaver

[ROBERTS2005]

can anyone help me? i have made an e-mail link to an e-mail account, but when i hover over it, it comes up with the destination on the bottom bar of internet explorer. is it possible to replace this with just a few words describing what the link is for, not mailto:blahblah?

Use the following method in your code to get the desired result.

*NOTE: Will work in IE, not Firefox (others un-tested)

Text displayed for Link on site.

Oops.. seems its read my HTML as a link...

< a h r e f = "mailto:blahblah"
o n M o u s e O v e r ="window.status='**What you want to appear in Status Bar**'; return true"
o n M o u s e O u t ="window.status=''">Text displayed for Link on site.< / a >

(take out the unnecessary spaces.

It will work in firefox if the user has unchecked the box to disable javascripts from messing with the status text. This is defaulted to being activated on firefox, because it can get annoying.
