How can I hide URL from displaying in browser's bottom status bar when mouse hovers?

Answer 1

Don't put the URL in the href (or keep it href="#") and attach a JavaScript function to the onclick event which puts the actual link in the a element. This way you won't see the actual URL when hovering over the link but the link will be inserted when the user actually clicks.
