Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

I'm working on a Homepage, wich is created by a PHP-Script. I'm changing the
status bar in the head of the dokument with:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
window.defaultStatus = "sinniges.de"
//-->
</script>

If you touch a link I want to show another text in the statusbar:

<a class="menu" href="index.php" onmouseover="window.status='Home';return
true;">Home</a>

The browser shows the text from the onmouseover event but he switches not back
to the defaultstatus text. The a:hover for links doesn't work.
If you disable the eventuality to change the status text, the a:hover works
well. On Internet Explorer 5.5 sp2 and NN 4.79 it works well, on NN 6.2 only the
defaultstatus text is shown.
