JS onMouseOver this.innerText

[PhilgB]

On a page I have a couple links where I want whatever is between the <a> tags to show up in the status bar.

<a href="#" onmouseover="window.status=this.innerText; return true">blah</a>

This works fine in IE, but nothing else.

A little over two years later...
use "innerHTML" instead.

Note: sorry for resurrecting a horribly ancient topic, but, well, I felt the need.

arg!

the need must have been very strong for you to resurect such an old thread without anything to add other than that innerText went out with the idea that the earth was flat.
