Javascript / Client Side Development :: FAQ Topic - I have window.status="Moomin"; why doesn't the statusbar change?


	FAQ Topic - I have window.status="Moomin"; why doesn't the statusbar change? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Topic - I have window.status="Moomin"; why doesn't the statusbar change? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- When changing the status in an event (e.g. onmouseover) you should return true from the event. Also a number of browsers require a short delay before setting the status to overcome their default behaviour with the statusbar. ` onevent="setTimeout('window.status=\'Moomin\'',15);" ` Most browsers are configured, by default, to disallow scripts from setting the status bar text. === Postings such as this are automatically sent once a day.
