I’ve a DIV as a button using onclick and want to change the statusbar information shown using onmouseover.
But it doesn’t work:
<div id="button1" onclick="location.href='LINK'" onmouseover="window.status='LINK'" onmouseout="window.status=''">
Is there any special I’ve missed?
Unless there is something else going on that you are not telling us about, you are mimicking the behavior of a normal link. You should just use a <a href> link instead of a div. It’s easy to style a link to look like a button with a little CSS.
The reason you don’t see the changes you are trying to make to the status bar is because modern browsers block JavaScript from making changes to the status bar. They now do this because the technique you are using has been used in the past to make deceptive links.
