Example 17.7:
Setting the Temporary Status Message
Point at the link to see another 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.status='This link takes you to ... '; return true">Point at the link to see another message.</A>
]]>
