Well im sorry to say but i dont know how to do it for html
but if u wanna put this code in a header or somthing be my guest...
// Dont forget your html tag //

<html>
<head> or h1 through h6
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- hide script from old browsers
window.status="You Text"
// End hiding script -->
</script>
</html>

And its for Javascript to make your customized text in the status bar..

</script>
</html>

No body tag, no closing head tag. Red highlights invalid, deprecated and/or unnecessary. No wonder we get people with whole pages exhibiting these kinds of flaws.

On top of that, it is a stupid idea to begin with and doesn't work in many browsers. The specific code given will have very fleeting effects, if any.

Terse doesn't mean angry (though John was more brief that even I would have been, which is saying something!)

If John thinks that the concept is a bad idea, then what would be the sense in him posting code? And I agree with him; it is a bad idea. The status bar is an important user interface feature, not a toy.

Authors should concern themselves with the canvas and nothing else.

Thanks for the support Mike! I might add that if anyone had bothered searching the forums on this, they would have come up both with ways to actually do it, and with more exhaustive and polite explanations of why not to. I admit to being if not a bit mad, exasperated at seeing advice given that not only doesn't really answer the question, but that also exhibits such poor form in coding, as well as implying that a foolhardy idea is worthwhile. A bit much to deal with in one post, I did my best. :)

The fact that the post almost all cancels itself out is a bit amusing, though. LOL
