onMouseOver works on Microsft-Explorer but not on Konqueror

[gosuc2000]

Hello List,

I'm new tp javascript and like to ask for some help.
I'm normally used to read all sort of resources until I find a solution, but here I'm getting nowhere.

The problem:

the following code works as expected on the Microsoft Internet-Explorer, but doesn't work on Linux Konqueror.

What I expect is to have a message displayed on the statusline when I go over the link with the mouse, and I want to have the message disappeare when I leave the
link with the mouse. I have checked the Konqueror-Browser and it has javascript enabled. But the only thing I see when I go with the mouse over the link, that it shows the URL where the link is pointing to. Does anybody know whatelse I have to look in the KOnqueror-setup to get it working?

Any help is very apreciated.


Regards,

Fred

What code? you must have forgotten to post.

But I doubt it would work "as expected" even on ie if it is something like this.
[tt]<a href="

http://www.google.com"

onmouseover="window.status=this.href" onmouseout="window.status=''">click to google</a>
[/tt]
It behaves as default (except variation on mouseout) without explicitly set onmouseover.

But, you cannot change the default like this, showing the security risk that might be conceived.
[tt]<a href="

http://www.murderous.com"

onmouseover="window.status='

http://www.msf.org'"

onmouseout="window.status=''">click to msf</a>
[/tt]

Firefox (by default - out of the box) does not allow you to set the status bar text. IE does. Check to see if Konqueror allows you to set the status bar text using any existing site on the net... and see if there is an option to allow it in the settings for the browser.

Cheers,
Jeff

Oh Folks, forgive me for forgetting to attach the code.

Here it is

<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" border="1" align="left" valign="middle" bgcolor="#00FFFF" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><a href="Officedata.html" target="right" onMouseOver="window.status='Special Infos';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';">Officeinfos</a></td>
.
. rest of code

Hello BabyJeffy

I have checked konqueror for options to modify the status
bar text. It does have the option and it is enabled.

So what might be wrong with the code?


Regards,

Fred
P.S. excuse my bad English ....

Hi Fred,

Can you post all of your code, or at least all between <table> </table>?

i've met similar problem before. i missed </table>, it works fine in MSIE, but abnormal in FireFox.
