Example 17.6:
More Ways to Change defaultStatus
We started with the same defaultStatus message, but then have a couple of ways to change it.
Or just point at this link (which doesn't go anywhere) to change the status message.
This is the script we used. In the HEAD...
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
defaultStatus = "Hold on, we're loading..."
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Then these:
<![CDATA[
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Change" onclick="self.defaultStatus='Let\'s change the status message from this button!'">
</FORM>
<A HREF="nowhere" onmouseover="self.defaultStatus='Now from this link!'; return true">Or just point at this link (which doesn't go anywhere) to change the status message.</A>
]]>
