Before you go complaining that onMouseOver sucks, lets have a little look at your code, eh? When you created your 'control' window, did you assign it the following??? control.creator = self It looks to me like you're trying to call 'top.status' without telling Javascript what exactly 'top' is. Take a look at the Javascript FAQ at JavaScript 411: http://www.his.com/~smithers/freq/beta/index.html Andy Augustine aug@ix.netcom.com ---------- From: Konrad Kim[SMTP:KRad@spacelab.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 1996 1:41 AM To: javascript@obscure.org Subject: onMouseOver sucks! because it never does what I want it to do namely: Is it possible to do a mouse over event to the status bar in ANOTHER window? I have my windows settup so that the "main" window spawns another "control" window. Thus a mouseover in the "control" window should put a msg in the status bar of the "main" window. But this is not the case as it produces it in the status bar of the "control" window. Here is the code contained in the control window: <A HREF="navibar2.htm" onMouseOver="top.status='Stop Annoying me!'; return true" ><IMG WIDTH=134 HEIGHT=100 SRC="testmo3.gif"></A> So what is wrong? Is what I am proposing not possible? -------------------------------------------------------------------- This message came from the mailing list javascript.
