Hi,
There is no need to worry about the crawlers. The Urls are in the generated script and todays crawlers are smart enough to search for anything that "looks like" an Url and follow it.
The reason that the menu does not show Url on status bar is because the menu can do a lot of other things other than loading a Url. For example, some user set the menu's RaisesServerEvent to true. In that case the menu will post back the page and triggers server side ItemClick event. Other user may set the menu's ClientSideOnItemClick to handle menu item click event with JavaScript.
The menu does not provide a single "switch" for you to turn on this. However you can easily handle the menu's ClientSideOnItemMouseOver to implement this:
Code: HTML/ASPX
<eo:Menu ClientSideOnItemMouseOver="mouse_over_handler" ....>
.....
</eo:Menu>
Code: JavaScript
function mouse_over_handler(e, info)
{
window.status = info.getItem().getNavigateUrl();
}
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
