How to Hide URL Loading In Status Bar?

how to hide 开发者_如何学CURL Loading In Status Bar in IE and Firefox?

You used to be able to manually set the status of the window using...

window.status = "Hello World";

However, most browsers stopped you from doing this a while back as it was used as a technique to direct users to phishing websites (i.e. you'd hover over a link that was pointing to "www.fakebank.com" and they would update the window status to "www.realbank.com" to make you think it was a genuine link.

So the short answer is, you won't be able to control what happens on the browser window, such as progress bar and URL being loaded as the browser won't allow it.
