Doesn't work. The status is not changed to what I am telling it to be it is always:

shortcut to help.htm or shortcut to #. There is no way to get JavaScript to work correctly in this regard. Using the normal rules of logic. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 Windows 2000 SP2.

Your logic has produced too much errors to mention. Take a close look at the
following example and take it from there:

<script type="text/javascript">
function statusMsg(msg) {
window.status = msg;
return true;
}
</script>
.....
<a href="help.html "
onmouseover="re turn statusMsg('Get Help')"
onmouseout="ret urn statusMsg('')"> test</a>

You don't need JavaScript here, for starters.

I don't know about anybody else, but for me, that HTML you posted came out
to be an unreadable mess. Please *format* your posts to make them at least
somewhat understandable.

Furthermore, as Mr Jenkins said, don't use

[event name]="Javascript : ..."

to specify the language of your intrinsic events. That should be done with
a META element.

Finally, if you are using more than a couple of statements in an intrinsic
event, use a function rather than inline code. It's *so* much easier to
read, and therefore, to debug.

Re: weep

Try your suggestion. It doesn't work. Use an image map and see if you can get the status bar to change to what you want it to be when the mouse is over one of the areas of the map. It won't work.

Did some research and it appears that IE doesn't support this in maps. I
have found a nice workaround suggested by Laurent Bugnion from a previous
thread in this newsgroup, see:

However, it seems to work when you assign both the onmouseover and
onmousemove events. The onmouseover event should be assigned to support
Mozilla.

Re: weep

Hi Jan. The issue is the href attribute in the Area tags. With that attribute the onmouseover and onmouseout events do fire but the windows.status= '' doesn't work. The way I found to fix it is use onclick in the <AREA> in place of the href and then the window.status=' ' in the onmouseover and onmouseout work.
