Status-Bar Messages

A status-bar message is another means of sending a message or statement to the user. The statement is displayed along the lower margin of the browser window. Status-bar scripts are assigned to a hypertext reference (HREF), and are activated when a user passes the mouse pointer over the hypertext link. The following HREF, when passed over, creates a status-bar messagethat states: "This is a Javascript Status-Bar Message."
