window status text in a modeless dialog

can you change the window.status text in a modeless dialog?

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to change the status text in a modeless dialog?

window.showModelessDialog(sURL [, vArguments] [, sFeatures])

Normally you would use the javascript code:
window.status = 'something';

But when I try to do that in a modeless dialog that I have opened, it wont set the status text.

Anyone know why and how to do it?

Cheers

Are you specifying a status in the features of the window.openModelessWindow call? eg:

showModelessDialog("myDialog.html",window,"status:true;dialogWidth:300px;dialogHeight:300px");

hi,

yes, i am doing that.

I have found information on a website saying that it is a BUG and you cant work around it.

I think that it is more likely a security fix. Nevermind!

Oh and it seems to work fine locally - but as soon as you upload and run online, it wont work.

BTW, incase your wondering I am running Windows XP SP2- which has presumably stopped you from changing the status text.

Cheers Microsoft.

Same thing happens on XP SP1... I am unable to change the status...
