// JavaScript Document-----filam
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--script takes title and displays in staus bar
//-->
function status()
{var t = document.title
defaultStatus = t}
</script>

i would like the title to display in the status bar?
it does not do that though? i must be missing somethng.

displayed in the html in the head is
<script language="javascript" src="js_scripts/filam.js"></script>

and

<body onLoad="status()">

also maybe there is an easier way

thanks

<!--
function MM_displayStatusMsg(msgStr) { //v1.0
status=msgStr;
document.MM_returnValue = true;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="MM_displayStatusMsg('Hello there');return document.MM_returnValue">
