Link Question

[Silverbullet28]

Alright, I want to post a link on a web page in this format:

ventrilo://99.99.999.999:9999/servername=XXXXXXpassword=XXXX

When this link is clicked on it will open up Ventrilo(a voice communication program) and automatically join the server with the specified IP, servername, and password. My question is how do I post that link without anyone being able to tell what the server IP address is?

Normally the browser displays the link's location in the bottom toolbar when you hover over the link, I don't want people to be able to see the IP address when they hover over the link. Also, I would not like them to be able to just view the source of the page and see the IP address there either. Any ideas on how I could do this?

Thanks for any help. :beer:

i don't know of any good way. you could have a link to some other file that is simply a redirect, but that's not a whole lot better. it'll stymie people who don't know what they're doing, but many people could still figure it out.

add some javascript to the onMouseOver event of the <a> tag that resets the window.status element:

<a href="ventrilo://99.99.999.999:9999/servername=XXXXXXpassword=XXXX" onMouseOver="window.status='your text here or blank';">link</a>
