Name
defaultStatus — NN 2 IE 3 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Read/Write
The default message displayed in the browser window’s status
bar when no browser loading activity is occurring. To temporarily
change the message (during mouse rollovers, for example), set the
window’s status property. Most scriptable
browsers and versions have difficulty managing the setting of the
defaultStatus property. Expect odd behavior.
Example
window.defaultStatus = "Make it a great day!"
Value
Any string value.
Default
None.
