112066 - onmouseover doesn't initiate

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99009

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[bill]

cannot write status using onmouseover. tried with write.status and self.status;
tried inline and via javascript. works fine with netscape (4.7x)

example 1:

<a class="menu" href = "http://www.foo.com" onMouseOver="return
statusInfo('hello world')" onMouseOut="return statusInfo('')">foo</a> 

function statusInfo(msg) {
    self.status=msg;
	return true;
  }


example 2:

<a HREF="http://www.foo.com" onMouseOver="window.status='hello world' ; return
true;">foo</a>

This would be a problem with window.status instead.
