patric design Bipolar (III) Inmate From: 290 km/h, fast lane, Autobahn, Germany Insane since: Feb 2001	posted 05-22-2002 17:56 This is one of those moments when you wish you'd bookmarked a page that you found, but you haven't! A while ago I stubled across a page that explained how to create a hidden link. It DID NOT use the simple clear pixel method or same-color background (those you can find by selecting the whole page). It explained on how to make a link hidden on a word in a text, that would NOT show any status bar change, changing cursor, color or underline. Only if you knew which word contained the link you could click it and access the hidden page. Does anyone know how this was done? Can anyone point me to the page i was talking about? <´¯`·.¸ Patric ¸.·´¯`>

This is one of those moments when you wish you'd bookmarked a page that you found, but you haven't!

A while ago I stubled across a page that explained how to create a hidden link. It DID NOT use the simple clear pixel method or same-color background (those you can find by selecting the whole page).

It explained on how to make a link hidden on a word in a text, that would NOT show any status bar change, changing cursor, color or underline. Only if you knew which word contained the link you could click it and access the hidden page.

Does anyone know how this was done? Can anyone point me to the page i was talking about?

I have no idea what page you are talking about, but I think this might give the effect you are after:

code:

<head>

...



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

<!-- Enable Stealth Mode to hide from really old browsers

// code courtesy of GurusNetwork.com



function openWindow(url) {

  popupWin = window.open(url,'','menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,location=yes,titlebar=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480');

}

// Disable Stealth Mode -->

</script>

...



</head>



<body>



<span onclick="javascript: openWindow('http://www.ozoneasylum.com');">link</span>



</body>

If you want the new page to load in the browser window that is currently used to can switch the 'openWindow('http://www.ozoneasylum.com')' with 'document.URL='http://www.ozoneasylum.com'.

Hope that helps

@CPrompt

Thanx, that was very informative reading. I am however not concerned because the site this is for will never be listed at any search engine. I want to have a limited access area but I don't want to manage/create passwords. So I am trying to make a really boring start page that "will make you leave instantly" and add the hidden link in it.

I'm not sure if that's the best way to maintain the window status but it seems to work for me.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.hidden {color: "#000000"; text-decoration: none; cursor: default;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="wherever.com" class="hidden" onmouseover=" window.status = window.status; return true;">what</a>
</body>
</html>

Thanx @all for the quick replies!

I thought bitdamaged found the best way, but it was buggy in some browsers. NS4 would still show blue links etc.

But the price for this one definitely goes out to hlaford! The most simplistic approach turns out to be the best. It displays in all browsers and never gives itself away!

Thanx to all for the help. I'm off to implementing it now!
