101491 - onMouseOver in image <map> <area> doesn't change window.status

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99009

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

Description

[Daniel Ceregatti]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    

It appears that in http://sh.nu/wedding/brparty1.html the href appears in the
status instead of the text being supplied to a function that sets window.status
in the <area> tag inside the <map> tag at the bottom of the source. If I use a
setTimeout on the message, it'll change the text in the status.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://sh.nu/wedding/brparty1.html
2.mouse over the people's faces
3.The status bar should show the person's name, not the href. The href is just a
dummy, since it displays nothing unless it's present

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have displayed the text supplied to the
showStatus() function, and not the href.

"sodapop on #mozillazine" found that it didn't occur in 0.9.2 or 0.9.3
& it's broken in 0.9.4 and above

Confirmed, win98 trunk 2001092308. The same thing happens with plain links,
looks like the text set by the mouseover js is overwritten with the href, even
with 'return true;'
