On Internet explorer, at the bottom of the browser, there is a little explorer icon over a 'dog eared' page. When your mouse goes over an image or a link on a page, the link URL appears to the right of the icon. And on some pages, it says a customized message. I want to learn how to do this, as every google search I've tried, i still don't know what to search for. Ive tried searching for toolbar and things of that manner.
For example: put your mouse over the pm or profile links below. The link URL appears in the spot I described. Thanks. |

That area in the browser window is called the status bar. The custom messages that you are seeing are being set by JavaScript.
In the <head> of your document, place the following code.
| Code: |
<script language="javascript1.2">
window.status = "Cool New Message";
</script>
|
Now, the status bar will say 'Cool New Message'. You can change that however you wish, but cannot style it in any way (color, italic, bold, etc.) and it is only one line (no <br>). If you want it to change on a per-link basis, you can put that line into the onmouseover attribute of a link like so:
| Code: |
<a href="someurl.htm" onmouseover="window.status='This Link';">Some Text</a>
|
Note the use of the single quotes when setting the text inline, that is very important. |
