Example 17.5:
Changing defaultStatus

We started with the same defaultStatus message, but then have a script that changes it.
Type something, then press Tab:

This is the script we used. In the HEAD... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"> <!-- defaultStatus = "Hold on, we're loading..." //--> </SCRIPT> Then this form: <FORM> Type something, then press Tab: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30" onblur="self.defaultStatus='here\'s what you typed: ' + document.forms[0].elements[0].value"><P> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE="30"> </FORM>
