If an event such as onMouseOver() contains Javascript that would write to
the status window, and if preferences prevent Javascript from writing to
status window, then normal href target should be shown in the status window.
That is, href display in status window should not be implemented as a
default onMouseOver() function (assuming that is what the problem is).



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable javascript ability to write to status windows in preferences
2. visit the example url
3. Hover mouse over adverts at bottomeleft hand side of web page

Actual Results:  
Status window remains blank and href does not show as expected


Expected Results:  
Shown href text when hovering over href with mouse
