in the body tag, do this:

<body yadda="yadda" onLoad="window.status='Whatever you want to say....'; return true">

then for links, do this:

<a href="whatever" onMouseover="window.status='your message'; return true" onMouseout="window.status='whatever it should say when nothing is being moused over'; return true">

Oh! If you put it in the <body>, please also include a <body onUnload="window.status=''">, otherwise your message will follow folks all over the place, annoying them to no end!

Your pal, -doc-<P>

You sure do, infact, if you go yadda.yadda.unbobchadidllia you get a random magic effect that turns your computer into gold. (I've yet to figure out whats random about it..)

Actually, no, yadda is supposed ot represent all the stuff that would already have in your body tage, like "alink="FFFFFF" or whatever...

<body link="black" alink="black" vlink="black" onLoad="window.status='-=Da Chronic Competition=-';return true" onUnload="window.status=''";>

I think that would work... Just reading what Doc and DL-44 said.. I've never actually used this before..

ok thanks I actually got it before you posted your message and mine looks pretty similar to yours.

My next question involves the editing of a code. here is the code...<!--
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF }
A:hover {text-decoration: bold; color: #808080}
A:visited {text-decoration: none}
A:active {text-decoration: underline}
-->
what this is supposed to do is make a link change color when you put ur mouse over it. Now what i want it to do is just underline it. I tried editing it but its not working. What do i do?

Put this right after your <body> tag:

<STYLE type="text/css">
A:link{color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif"> A:active{color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none;}
A:visited{color:#FFFFFF;}
A:hover{color:#808080;font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;}
</STYLE>

may i make a suggestion? don't use window.status="". instead use window.defaultStatus="". Then, when the mouse moves over a link, the browser can change the status bar text for the user, and will change it back immediately after. People will probably like that more. That property, for those concerned, should be supported just as widely as window.status is.
