[Perfect in IE, Mozila doesnt work :(]

use css,and with  css hacking u can  choose which style in which browser.

[a href problem]

it's not possible,because the browser developers think it's a security issue[i think it is,imagine I put a link for a bad thing and you see a good thing in status bar......].

but maybe it works.

you can put a hyperlink with href="whatever you want" and  on-click change  the location :

    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

    function GoTo(URL)

    {

      document.location=URL;

      return false;

    }

    </script>

<a href="Goooood Thing" onclick="GoTo('http://www.Baaad-thing.com');">Heha</a>
