Change Link Mouseover Text On The Bottom Of A Browser Window

You know that text that appears in the bottom left of your browser when you mouseover a link? How do you change that? I'm a competent programmer so I don't need a code sample or ha

Solution 1:

In old browsers, you could set the property window.status to modify the text in the status bar. Because this holds serious security issues (the user could be tricked into clicking on a link which leads to another target), all modern browsers deactivated this feature.

Solution 2:

This can be done with javascript :

onmouseover="window.status='TEXT HERE'"

Solution 3:

You can try the window.status property, however this isn't used often anymore as most browsers now block the status bar text from being updated.
