    Displaying Text in the Browser’s Status Bar When Mousing Over a LinkButton

    Basically you need to add onmouseover="window.status='text to display in status bar'; return true;" and onmouseout ="window.status=''; return true;" to the link. The article shows you how to do it, and even makes a custom control for you.

    Alternatively, you can style a button to look like a link (if you just want to get rid of the text).

    Here’s one example of doing it, but there might be other methods.
