Guest saraghav Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have seen a few websites in which the status bar displays a message, sometimes animated. Even when I hover on a link or a button, the page to which they are linked are not displayed in the status bar. Can anyone explain how ?Example of one such site : http://www.mohankumars.com/Maybe it is XML or some other language, I am not sure. Could someone please explain this ?

scott100 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Simple example: <a href="http://www.google.com" onMouseOver="window.status='Go to Google'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true">Google</a> Using javascript window.status you can change the message in the status barHere's an animated one i found with google: <HEAD> <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript";> <!-- Begin function scrollit(seed) {var m1 = "Hi There! ";var m2 = "..... This is what the message scrolling along the bottom would look like! ";var m3 = "......Enjoy ";var m4 = "";var msg=m1+m2+m3+m4;var out = " ";var c = 1;if (seed > 100) {seed--;cmd="scrollit("+seed+")";timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);}else if (seed <= 100 && seed > 0) {for (c=0 ; c < seed ; c++) {out+=" ";}out+=msg;seed--;window.status=out;cmd="scrollit("+seed+")";timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);}else if (seed <= 0) {if (-seed < msg.length) {out+=msg.substring(-seed,msg.length);seed--;window.status=out;cmd="scrollit("+seed+")";timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);}else {window.status=" ";timerTwo=window.setTimeout("scrollit(100)",75);}}}// End --></SCRIPT></HEAD> <BODY onLoad="scrollit(100)"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
