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);" »
Some browsers may be configured to disallow scripts from setting
the status.
