In Safari, is there any (convenient) way to tell where a link will take you before clicking it? It seems most browsers have a little window that floats above the link as you point at it, or maybe an "info bar" at the bottom of the page, but I can't find a Safari equivalent.

Thanks

You mean like the status bar? If so, View> Status bar. Or command + /

D'oh. Yes, exactly like the status bar. I feel kind of dumb. Thanks.
 
I get the feeling Apple underestimated how much people use the status bar, and that's why it's disabled by default. I wasn't going to use Safari until I found it hiding there. So don't feel too dumb :)
