Behavior which modifies status bar

[sgross]

I'm trying to do a simple test of a behavior overriding the windows
status bar on a link to show its text instead of it's href without
passing special variables to the behavior. Please have a look and let
me know if you see anything I'm missing.

<PUBLIC:COMPONE NT>
<PUBLIC:ATTAC H EVENT="onMouseO ver" HANDLER="doMous eOver" />
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
function doMouseOver(){
var strRegExp = /&nbsp;/g;
var newString = innerHTML.repla ce(strRegExp," ")
if(newString.le ngth>1){
window.status = newString;
return true;
}
}
</script>
<PUBLIC:COMPONE NT>

You're missing the fact that in Opera, Mozilla, and Netscape, I can
specify that your script isn't allowed to change my status bar. ;)

Not a problem. IE "behaviors" won't work in these browsers either,
so the author (hopefully) never intended the script to run on any
of them.

Yes. A behaviour is a new concept introduced by Microsoft, allowing to
specify a small JavaScript piece of code (encapsulated in its own file)
as a CSS rule. MS is trying to have it accepted as a standard, but it
should take at least a few more years until we see it widespread. It
works in IE already, though.
