is there anyother way where i can display in the status bar...
kindly help

var here = new Date();
function timer()
{
var now = new Date();
var m = Math.floor((Math.ceil((now.getTime() - here.getTime())/1000)/60));

if (m<1) m = 0 + " minutes";
else if (m==1) m = m + " minute";
else m = m + " minutes";

var s = Math.ceil((now.getTime() - here.getTime())/1000);
if (s == 0) s = s + " seconds.";
if (s == 1) s = s + " second.";
if (s > 1 && s < 60) s = s + " seconds.";
if (s == 60) s = 0 + " seconds.";
if (s > 60) s = s - (60*parseInt(m)) + " seconds.";

var r = "You've been here " + m + " and " + s ;

defaultStatus = r;

setTimeout('timer()', 1000);
}

</script>

defaultStatus="something" itself works perfect in nn4.61 at least
check your script again

<html>
<head>
<script language=JavaScript>

var here = new Date();
function timer()
{
var now = new Date();
var m = Math.floor((Math.ceil((now.getTime() - here.getTime())/1000)/60));

if (m<1) m = 0 + " minutes";
else if (m==1) m = m + " minute";
else m = m + " minutes";

var s = Math.ceil((now.getTime() - here.getTime())/1000);
if (s == 0) s = s + " seconds.";
if (s == 1) s = s + " second.";
if (s > 1 && s < 60) s = s + " seconds.";
if (s == 60) s = 0 + " seconds.";
if (s > 60) s = s - (60*parseInt(m)) + " seconds.";

var r = "You've been here " + m + " and " + s ;

document.f.timea.value=r;
//defaultStatus = r;

setTimeout('timer()', 1000);
}

</script>
</head>
<body onload="timer();">

<form name=f>
<input name=timea size=80>
