How do you get rid of "javascript" on status bar?

[roblasch]

I can't seem to get rid of "javascript//" on the status bar. I am trying to display a message on a rollover which also activates a function. I am trying to change the status text from within that function, but it won't override the "javascript//" message.

what browser are you using???

well, try this in the mean time:

window.defaultStatus='this text in the status bar';

and

window.status='this text in the status bar too'; theEclipse

I have tried both of those to no avail. The result is the same in IE5.5 and NN4.7 and N6

there's probably an easier way to do this, but this worked for me:

<a href=&quot;mypage.htm&quot; onmouseover=&quot;self.status='mypage';return function(){return false}&quot;>darg</a> jared@aauser.com -

When I try to access some images the computer locks up so tight that the ctrl, Alt., Delets command takes many minutes before it comes up and then it will not operate. I then have to hit the reset key to regain the computer.
