window.status code to deal with a " bottom scroller " doesnt respect tabs

the scrolling text at the status area stays the same even when in a different tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto that  http://www.askmysite.com/ with a couple of tabs already open before

2. then goto another tab and the scroll message remains

3. I think this is the code for it.
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- Start of scroller script
    var scrollCounter = 0;
    var scrollText    = "Research Meditation Workshops, Brand Concept Creation
and PR Supervision";
    var scrollDelay   = 95;
    var i = 0;
    while (i ++ < 140)
	scrollText = " " + scrollText;
    function Scroller()
    {
	window.status = scrollText.substring(scrollCounter++, 
			    scrollText.length);
	if (scrollCounter == scrollText.length)  
	    scrollCounter = 0;
	setTimeout("Scroller()", scrollDelay);
    }
    Scroller();
    // End of scroller script -->





Please tell me if this change required a simple if then else fix, or something
more abstract,
