    Default Status Bar Message Help Needed

    Hi, I have a status bar message on my web pages. The code looks like this:

    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--
    window.status = "bla bla bla";
    -->
    </script>


    The problem is that with a lot of pages on my site if I need to change the
    message it can take a few hours.

    Can I use a .txt or .js as the source file.

    I have checked google and there are a few things but none worked.

    By the way if you can help then I will need the exact code for the webpage and
    the source file as I am a total newbie.

    Cheers people

    Default Re: Status Bar Message Help Needed

    Sure, Create a new file and save it as a .js file. Name it something like
    statuscode.js. Inside of it place your code only, not the script tags.

    window.status = "bla bla bla";


    Then link to this .js file from every page. This link goes inside of the
    <head></head> tags.

    <Script type="text/JavaScript" src="statuscode.js"></script>

    Note that this is not supported by all browsers, and is an unfriendly thing
    to do (in my opinion) - I have found that many people rely on the normal
    status bar messages to see where the link is taking them.
