stopping onmouseover status bar messages

[z12]

Hi Oddysey,

I included the mouseout for the heck of it. I've tried it with & without it and haven't noticed a difference.

As for other elements, from what I have observed so far, the only element that seems to need "return true" to display text in the status bar are anchor tags. For example, the following code is not matched, & will display a message in the status bar:

[code]
<td onmouseover="window.proxoStatus='hmm';" onmouseout="window.proxoStatus='';" >
[code]

However, if "return true" is included in the above code, the filter will remove it, but the message is displayed anyway. From this, I gather that there is no default action for "onmouseover" unless it's the anchor tag and hence, no need to specify "return true". Note that the first iteration of this filter matched "return true", but I ran into a few sites that used something like "return display(msg)".

For disabling other status bar text, like shown in the example above, I include this in my start js:

[code]
var proxoStatus="";
[code]

then have proxo replace ".proxoStatus" with ".proxoStatus"

In the end, I suppose it would be "safer" to match only anchor tags. However, I like to live on the edge with my proxo filters and it wouldn't be the first time one of my filters "broke" something!

Anyway, I'll post a modifed version later, in the meantime, try it out.

Thanks for the feedback
Mike
