undefined in status bar

[George Hester]

This is using Microsoft Windows with IE. I have a form with a text box which I inspect onKeyDown to determine what key is pressed. Also if the page sits idle for a while an alert box comes up. Here's my issue.

If I load the page and wait for the time out a message is written to the staus bar. That works fine. But if I load the page, type one character in the text box and stop all activity the page times out again. But this time after the alert box has fully formed, the status bar quickly receives the message I want there but instantaneously changes to undefined.

What can be done so this doesn't happen?

Thanks.

Find out why it's setting the status bar text to undefined and fix it.

If you want help you need to post some code.

Regards,
Steve
