Hide Hyperlink in status bar

[APFC]

I want to HIDE the results of the following hyperlink in the status bar so
that someone cannot see the url. The Results of the hyperlink is a url with
the agentID visable. I want to hide the entire url or disguise it.

My hyperlink is:
href="http://www.apfcftp.com:81/index.a5w?agentID=<%=Request.Cookies("apfcinc") ("username") %>" >x</a></p>

As Stefan said, modern browsers can be configured to prevent you hiding
the status bar text.
However, you may be able to solve the problem using a form:

<form action="http://www.apcfctp.com:81/index.a5w" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="agentID" value="<%=Request.Cookies("apfcinc")
("username") %>>
<input type="submit" value="x">
</form>

The method="Post" will prevent the querystring being seen (although it
will still be visible in View Source).
The submit button can be styled, or replaced with an image:
<input type="image" src="images/submit-x.gif" title="Go to X" alt="Go to
X">

The image may resemble a text hyperlink.
