Is it possible to hide link address on hover?

css, hover, html, hyperlink, javascript

Solution

The status bar highlighting happens only when you use an `<a>` element with a set `href`.

If you use pure JavaScript to open your link, and don't assign a `href` attribute, nothing will turn up in the status bar. I don't know how much control you have over the chart html, but if it renders `<a>` tags there's not much you can do.

You could try running javascript after the chart is renderred to attach `onclick` event handlers manually to all `<a>` tags and set `href = '#'`.

Problem

I have set up a chart with a lot of links and it really bugs me when it shows where the link goes in the bottom left hand side of the browser whenever you hover on a link, like so: Is it possible to remove this? any method will do as long as I can hide/remove it (HTML, CSS, JS etc..)
