try using java script

function statustype()
{
window.status = statusbarmessage;
}

hey hi,
I think i got the solution...
its the mozilla firefox setting...
try doing this...may be it will work...

go to tools option of mozilla firefox...
Tools -> Options -> Web Features -> Advanced and check the box ON for "Change status bar text"

just one note: this is bad practice -> when you hover a link the link's target should be displayed ... otherwise this may be considered as url-spoofing ... so the standard preference in moz/ff is set to OFF ... so even when you enable it in your browser ... it might fail in the users browsers ... just don't do this ...

kind regards
