Hardcoded string in addressbook.xul. Not Fixed for JAb1.

Reassign it to Paul Hangas.

Sending to Scott.  The problem here is not really that the string "Status Bar" is 
hard coded.  The problem is that we have not implemented a status bar.  We may 
want to display the number of cards in the address book or the number selected, 
but I am not sure that we need any form of progress bar or progress info since 
there are no LDAP address books.  The spec shows "Connected  Document Done" in 
the status bar, but I am not sure that this is useful.  We should check with 
jglick (ccing now) to help decide what should be in this status bar.

Yup, Hangas is correct.  Without Directories, the Status Bar doesn't do a whole 
lot of good in the AB. 

The uses I can think of are:
when an AB is selected: "Total Entries: 35"
when a Card is selected: "Last Updated: 4/28/00"

Alec, is your fix simmply not showing anything in the
status bar? If so, this fix is working. If your intent
is to show some text -- we need to know what text you 
put in, e.g. jglick's suggested wording?

[Alec Flett]

oh sorry, yes my fix was to just to change static strings for the status bar 
into strings from string bundles...  I was on an i18n rampage, but not fixing 
any functional bugs. The issue you're talking about is a functional bug that 
has nothing to do with i18n. we should file a seperate bug for that.

** Checked with 6/5/2000 Win32 build **

Thanks. 
statusText.label has been cerated in abMainWindow.dtd.
It is currently blank and therefore does not show any text
but it works. Looks like this area needs to be dynamic and 
show more useful info.

Marking it verified as fixed.
