I'm confused as why I can't get a status bar message to appear when I put my mouse over an image instaed of text.

my code looks like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; >
<a href=&quot;files.htm&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;window.status='';&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;window.status='it actually works now';&quot; >
<img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;images/files_off_button.gif&quot; width=&quot;125&quot; height=&quot;38&quot;></a>
</body>
</html>

---

I understand this works on link text but why not on a linked image? Grateful for any help, Thanks.

Try including 'return true' after your onMouseOver/onMouseOut:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; >
<a href=&quot;files.htm&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;window.status='';return true;&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;window.status='it actually works now';return true;&quot; >
<img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;images/files_off_button.gif&quot; width=&quot;125&quot; height=&quot;38&quot;></a>
</body>
</html>

Thanks Russ that seems to have done the trick, one more thing is it possible to show a message in the status bar when the image is clicked (clicked down), anyway thanks again. [sig][/sig]
