"Help" Link URL masking

[semperfi]

Hi

 

I am trying to mask the url link and have not found a way to do that yet can anyone help please. The reason I want to mask the url is because it is for a users profile page when logged in. The individual users profile page sections is broken up to multiple pages within multiple tabs and each tab content is requested via ajax. So when i hover over each tab it displays the url link eg: http://example.com/user/profilepage1.php etc. Is their a way where i can have it display just nothing when hovering over the tabs. Below is the basic structure for the tabs links if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it been at this for a coupe of hours and trying to avoid using javascript if possible. 

 

<ul class="nav">
		<li><a href="content1.php"><span>tab1</span></a></li>
		<li><a href="content2.php"><span>tab2</span></a></li>
		<li><a href="content3.php"><span>tab3</span></a></li>
		<li><a href="content4.php"><span>tab4</span></a></li>
		<li><a href="content5.php"><span>tab5</span></a></li>
	</ul>

I'm guessing that would be Javascript Onclick, that is not PHP.
