status — NN 2 IE 3 DOM n/a
Read/Write
Text of the status bar of the browser window. Setting the status bar
to some message is recommended only for temporary messages, such as
for mouse rollovers atop images, areas, or links. Double or single
quotes in the message must be escaped (\'). Many
users don’t look for the status bar, so avoid putting
mission-critical information there. Temporary messages conflict with
browser-driven use of the status bar for loading progress and other
purposes. To set the default status bar message (when all is at
rest), see the defaultStatus property.
