Is there a way of displaying a url in the statusbar on mouseover from an extension Topic is solved

[thosrtanner]

When you hover over a link on a web page, the url gets displayed in the statusbar (or in a small popup box to the bottom right if you don't have a status bar). This, as far as I understand it anyway, is the default behaviour for mouseover on an <a href=xxxx> link on a webpage.

However, there are some things displayed by my extension that are in a toolbar (a button and some scrolling boxes) are most definitely not <a href=xxxx> links, and have their own information to display when doing a mouseover, but do open a web page on mouse click.

Is it possible to do anything to also get the link that'll be opened displayed where the target of a link is normally displayed?
