Changing all anchor tags to display mess in statusbar

[dwhalen]

Hey,

I know how to change the status bar on individual anchor tags and such by using the onMouseOver="window.status='Hello Joe';". But is there a way to change all anchor tags to change the statusbar to the same text? Something like: A:hover{statusbar: Hello;}

I have a lot of links that I want to change to display a more user friendly message instead of a javascript function....and I am a very lazy man.

thanks

Well this isn't really much of a solution, but why don't you create a functon

function statusOver()
{
window.status="My Message";
}

function statusOut()
{
window.status="";
}

onMouseOver=&quot;statusOver();&quot;
onMouseOut=&quot;statusOut();&quot;>Tek-Tips Forum</A>

I know that you still have to put the onMouseOver & onMouseOut attribute in each anchor, but at least if you want to change the message, you'll only have to change it once in the function!!!!
