    try using java script

    <script language="JavaS cript">
    <!--
    var statusbarmessag e="Status Bar message";
    function statustype()
    {
    window.status = statusbarmessag e;
    }
    -->
    </script>

    and then call this function in your anchor tag

    may be it will help

        just one note: this is bad practice -> when you hover a link the link's target should be displayed ... otherwise this may be considered as url-spoofing ... so the standard preference in moz/ff is set to OFF ... so even when you enable it in your browser ... it might fail in the users browsers ... just don't do this ...

        kind regards
