Seriously.... here is my pet hate.

onmouseover="window.status='http://www.sponsorcode.com';return true" onmouseout="self.status='';return true"

A real URL in the status bar has a forward slash after the ".com" like this.....

onmouseover="window.status='http://www.sponsorcode.com/';return true" onmouseout="self.status='';return true"

My pet hate of mousovers is when they put something in the onmouseout part.

I get this all the time,
onmouseover="window.status='http://www.sponsorcode.com/';return true" onmouseout="self.status=' ';return true"

They have told the status bar to display " " instead of returning it to its default state. Nothing goes between the quotes, no spaces, no words nothing. Putting noting between the quotes returns the status bar to its default state.

Yeah their actually is a reason that we use the onmouseout part of the code and it is to return the status bar to its default state, not to have it display a bunch of spaces down there. Some, not all, browsers display information down there unless someone has told it to display something else down there.
