This is neat because it's more than just a cute trick. It actually acts as a link (I have the HTML Goodies home page in there, but you can change that). You can put up a short profile of the page the link leads to. That would be helpful to those just starting out on the Web. Change out the URL, window.status, and link words to configure this pup to your wants and desires. Here's the script:

<a href="URL goes here" onMouseover="window.status='status bar text goes here';
return true">on screen text goes here</a>

Get the above script all on one line...
