Overriding default window.status/defaultStatus behaviour by hyperlinks

Hi

when you hover over a LinkButton, the window status text changes. e.g.
javascript:__do PostBack('lnkNe xtBottom','')
how do i change it so that it does not display this text?
i have tried
onmouseover="wi ndow.status='te xt';"
and
onmouseover="wi ndow.defaultSta tus='text';"
but both do not work. it still shows the e.g. text above.

Thanks

I found the solution, if anyone was interested. hopefully it works without
any "side effects"
instead of just
onmouseover="wi ndow.status='te xt';"
put
onmouseover="wi ndow.status='te xt';return true;"

In Python, you can override the behaviour of most operators for a class, by defining __add__, __gt__, and the other special object methods. I noticed that, although there are special methods for most operators, they are conspicuously absent for the logical "or" and "and". I'm guessing that the reason for this is that these operators short-circuit if their first operand answers the whole question? Would it be possible to allow...

XP pro, IE, automatically shows 'current time'. If I write javascript that gives a status bar message, the message appears quickly, then XP status bar goes back to showing the current time.

What is the purpose of hiding intead of overriding a method? I have googled the question but haven't found anything that makes any sense of it. In the code below, the only difference is that when the Poodle is upcast to the Dog (in its wildest dreams) it then says "bow wow" where the bernard always says "woof" (see code). Basically, it appears that I'm hiding the poodle's speak method from everything except the poodle. Why would I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
