Status Bar Messages A status bar message is a custom message that appears on the lower left corner of the browser. This usually happens during an onMouseover event. These are probably the easiest Behaviors to create in Dreamweaver.
Follow these steps to create a status bar message: - Create a link. This can be a text or image link.
- Select the link (the <a> tag).
- Open the Behaviors Palette.
- Click on the Behaviors Menu and click on 'Set Text', which will bring up another menu where you should choose 'Set Text of Status Bar'.
- A dialog box will come up with one field titled 'Message'. Simply type the message that you would like to appear and you're done.
Well, almost done. You don't want that message to display the entire time someone is at your page, do you? If not, you need to create an onMouseOut message. To do this, simply follow the above steps, but instead of a message hit the space bar once. Then select the new Behavior in the Palette, and change the event from onMouseOver to onMouseOut. |
