I have an image link that is either hidden (.visible=False) or not based on what URL you came from. The problem is if you hold your mouse over the not-visible imgLink you still get the parent URL.
I set the Eventcaller.link = "" the parent URL still shows, i.e. www.myhomepage.com. I would like it to be completely blank. Is it possible? I tried Extended HTML and also setting Eventcaller.value="".
Thanks!

I think that the Extended HTML should solve this when you used with .visible = False.
Check how the HTML looks like when you apply the Extended HTML.

AHA! You are right. When I set to Extended HTML it left the old html after the extended, once deleted - poof, it works.
Rescued again! Thank you Peter

Peter, this trips up just about everyone and besides, it's annoying to have
to change it all the time. Is there a good reason why the default is "not
extended"? It seems odd to even have it as an option.

Well, I believe that the Extended HTML is not used by default for any of the individual controls because if all controls had it on then the HTML template would be quite large (huge in some cases). This could result in slower processing of the programs, possibly slower performance of CCS/IDE, as well as more issues when editing the HTML in CCS or Dreamweaver, etc.
Therefore I suspect that if it was turned on then we'd see all new category of complaints and issues... 
Let's say that this could apply only to the links but that would still create risk of those potential problems, plus wouldn't be consistent with the other controls and open the standards/consistency question.
That's just my opinion based on what I understand. If you like to argue otherwise and see strong points for it then I can pass the idea further.

I can see the reasoning, vis the HTML size. That's logical.
But ,
(a) the feature and purpose of "Extended HTML" are not clearly documented
(It was quite a while before I discovered all it did was add HTML begin/end
tags. I saw it casually mentioned in the help file, but my brain said this
was somehow related to w3c.org's "XHTML" when I first read it.
(b) "how can I hide my image" (or "link") ranks up there as one of the
most-asked questions
(c) the "your gonna lose all html formatting" message is really annoying
after the first 5-6 times it pops up.
(d) losing my html formatting is especially annoying
I'd vote for:
(a) making an entry in the property panel that turns it on/off instead of
the dialog checkbox
(b) let me select my preferred default setting, or
(c) have a set of "extended" toolbox icons so I can create one or the other,
even "change" a control from one to the other
food for thought...
