What seems to be happening is that window.status is set, only to be wiped away
by Mozilla's own "Document: Done" message when the page finishes loading.
Try setting window.status in the body's onload handler to see the difference...

er darn something broke window.status or something, at least in my (admittedly
old) build 2001061520. See attached testcase, it doesn't work for me. (win2k)
window.status is changed correctly but is not displayed. argh.

For reference, the behaviour on NS4.x on unix is that the text is set in the
status bar (and it shows in the dialog that pops up), and gets wiped out as soon
as you move your mouse.

there is an important difference between bug 91449 and this one: After clicking
a javascript link which calls
function setStatus(){
setInterval("window.status=new Date;",100);
}
the date will never appear in the status bar. The status bar is blocked. However
it works fine if that function is called from onload. So there is a further
problem with links, I think.

Well actually if you want the text to _stay_ in the statusbar you should use
window.defaultStatus and not window.status , as window.status is temporary text
and it disappears on next update of window.status (either "loading..." or
hovering a link, etc.)
[and especially on page load the statusbar text is updatedvery frequently]
so try smth like this:
<body onLoad="window.defaultStatus='hello world';return true;">
this worksforme...
