Description Udo Rader 2004-08-04 09:58:39 UTC 
just try the following in a <script> element:

window.defaultStatus = "the status that never shows";

or 

window.status = "this does not show either";

and nothing happens ...
Comment 1 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2004-08-04 12:18:46 UTC 
window.defaultstatus doesn't appear to work for me, and it doesn't work either
in TestGtkEmbed, so is a mozilla bug.

window.status on the other hand works just fine for me, but you will need to
ensure that the gconf setting
"/apps/galeon/Advanced/Filtering/default_allow_statusbar" is set to true.
Comment 2 Udo Rader 2004-08-04 16:22:56 UTC 
hmm, using mozilla  with the following page, I see a default status line:

http://de.selfhtml.org/javascript/objekte/anzeige/window_default_status.htm

And my "default_allow_statusbar" is set to true, as is "statusbar_rewrite", yet
still I cannot change it using window.status ...

Could it be a distro specific thing (I'm using mandrakes cooker galeon)?
Comment 3 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2004-08-07 13:04:28 UTC 
I have raised the window.defaultStatus issue as: 

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254677

Lets just concentrate on the window.status javascript function. This is working
fine for me, using the testcase I will attach, please also ensure that the
"dom.disable_window_status_change" key in the "about:config" page is set to "false".

Comment 5 Udo Rader 2004-08-12 15:08:55 UTC 
sorry for the late answer. you are right. 

window.status is working just like it should (unlike defaultStatus), so the bug
report can be half closed :-)
Comment 6 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2004-08-12 15:28:47 UTC 
The other issue is the mozilla bug reported above, so there is nothing to do
here :-)
