Hi Kirupa,  
I am just trying to do simple client side thing but ☹

There is a list of filenames with hyperlink which are generated dynamically on my ASP page.  
Now I want to get the path on the hyperlink that shows on the status bar when you actually mouseover the hyperlink using VBSCRIPT. Which I would then pass to a VBSCRIPT function and do the further processing.

I used document.location.href but that gives the pages path.

!!!hope to get a response asap…THANK YOU
