Description:
When mousing over the "Hide Legend" link "javascript://" shows on the browser status bar.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Don't allow this to show on the status bar - show nothing.

This is not an error, it is the href property of the link - used to make the onclick behavior work properly. I don't think it's reasonable to set up javascript to attach another listener to each link of this type and override the status bar value on rollover.

A secondary issue of shift clicking links used for javascript was brought up previously but it was decided to keep the links as links for the time being for stability purposes and being able to tab to them.

I recommend doing nothing about this for the 1.0 release and possibly keeping the behavior the same following depending on the consequences of moving away from using links.

It's been a while since I did any JavaScript but why not something like:
 onMouseover="window.status=''"

Adding a mouse over event, either inline or by iterating over the collection of links is what I recommended not doing in my last comment.
