Change link mouseover text on the bottom of a browser window

Question

You know that text that appears in the bottom left of your browser when you mouseover a link? How do you change that?

I\'m a competent programmer so I don\'t need a code

Answer 1

You can try the window.status property, however this isn't used often anymore as most browsers now block the status bar text from being updated.

Answer 2

In old browsers, you could set the property window.status to modify the text in the status bar. Because this holds serious security issues (the user could be tricked into clicking on a link which leads to another target), all modern browsers deactivated this feature.

Answer 3

This can be done with javascript :

onmouseover="window.status='TEXT HERE'"
