Display text in the browser status bar

To display text in the status bar of your browser using javascript write the following code inside your javascript function:

window.status = “This will display text in the status bar of your browser!”;

Note: The status bar may not change in firefox. In such a case go to “tools-options” click on “content” tab, click on the “advanced” for “enable javascript” and enable the “change status bar text” option.
