To make the status line at the bottom of the browser to show a message when the mouse passes over a link?

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Generally the URL or address of the link is displayed when we mouse over on the links in the web page, but it is easy to change this browser feature.

  2. Step 2

    Add the script window.status onmouseover on the link

  3. Step 3

    onmouseover= "window.status='HOME Page';return true" onMouseOut="window.status='';return true">

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure that the entire line containing window.status is on single line. It is fine to wrap around, but if you break the line in between quotes you may get a java error
