hovering over link not showing URL

hovering over link not showing URL
in the template: link.html there is this line:

<ul><li><a class="link" href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" onMouseOver="window.status='<%URL%>';return true" onMouseOut="window.status=' ';return true" target="_blank"><font face="verdana" size="2"><%Title%></font></a>

Only problem is - in Firefox, when you hover your mouse over the link, it still shows my directory's domain with the 'jump.cgi' added on to it and not the original sites domain URL. How can I make it show the site's URL when the mouse hovers over the link?

Do you still want it going through jump.cgi, or just go direct to <%URL%> ?

Well initially I wanted to remove the 'jump.cgi' and just have hardlinks as those affect pagerank, but now I decided to have the links keep going through jump.cgi for now, but i wanted the mouseover hover feature to show the link's URL and not the jump.cgi text.

Looks like its more to do with an issue in your FF setup:

I guess they disable it by standard for whatever reason.

ok so Glinks would normally work with the

onMouseOver="window.status='<%URL%>';return true"

but firefox has it disabled by default?

Yup, looks that way (I tested it in a simple HTML page, and does exactly the same as you were saying)
