>This works pretty well, But I notice that when the user clicks the link, the URL shows up in the status bar. I tried the onmousedown, click and a variety of other events but I can't seem to find the one that causes the URL to appear in the status bar when the link is clicked. Any ideas?

In that case, you might want to remove the status bar.
