status bar

[kosi]

Hi. I'm a newbie. And I have a question. I want to change the status bar every time I MouseOver a link. Is there a way to do this globally to all the links on a page, or do I have to include the onMouseOver="window.status etc." for every single link? Thanks.

No, you can globally do it like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
  var e = document.getElementsByTagName("a"),
    eventhandler = function() {
      window.status = "inu to neko";
      return false;
    };
  for(var i=0;i<e.length;i++)
    e[i].onmouseover = eventhandler;
};
</script>

However, the statusbar is an important GUI feature. You shouldn't play with it, and most modern browsers won't even let you by default.
