 </SCRIPT>[/code]

Add either of these to the <HEAD> section of your document...

@KorOct 12.2005 — #Try:

[code=php]
 <script type="text/JavaScript">
 onload = function(){
 window.status='Hello World!';
 return true;
 }
 </script>
 [/code]

But it will works for sure only on IE . The latest version of Moz anf FF will not allow that. In fact Status bar is an useful tool to see the link's URL, not to send messages, so you better try to use another place to put your messages. As a user I would like to have my status bar free from messages and false addresses.

Anyway... who will look below the page to get a message?
