Preserved Topic: a window.status function?

I tried to create a function that gets a text and puts this text into the windo.status bar...

here is what I have, it's not working.. hehe

function ws(text){window.status=text; return true;}
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onmouseover="ws('show this text');">show some text</a>

what's wrong with it? do I have to somehow document.write it? I just can't see cuz I am blind...

only</A> change remains

Rewrite <A> tag like this:

<a href="javascript:;" onmouseover="return ws('show this text');" onmouseout="return ws('');">show some text</a>

Note 1: You should also use onmouseout to set status to blank string
Note 2: Instead of "window.status", you can simply use "status"
