1. When I go to http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp and choose:
2. JS HTML DOM and then choose:
3. the Window object and then choose:
4. Write some text in the windows status bar ( a link)
5. Before I write the script, the IE shows current time in status bar
6. After I write the script, which writes a message on the status bar:
<script text="text/javascript>
function load()
{
window.status= "Show this text in the status bar"
}
</script>
<body onload="load()">
7. The script seems to work properly. quickly displaying the text in the
status bar
then the text disappears to be replaced by the current time again. I
cannot get the
text to appear long enough for anybody to read it. This is my problem.
I do not want
the current time to show. I just want the text that I write to show.
It's as if the
current time is hardcoded into IE. How can I get rid of the current
time and only
show the text that I want? I've done some searching for a tool that
would let me
change the options on the status bar but I have not found one. If there
is a way to change
those status bar options, please let me know.
8. When I view the W3school link (written in .ASP) the status bar shows
the text properly
and the current time does not show. This is what I want. I cannot check
myself if it
does not work to begin with...How can I get it to work?
9. Thanks for your time and patience.
Chuck
