Hi,

The menu used to be able to change status text on roll over but due to recent changes to browser security specifications this feature has been removed.

The reason for this is that it helps to prevent Phishing attacks from being successful

Cheers,
Andy

Whitch version do I have to use for to get 'status=' back again.
Or how do I add that missing code?

There is very little you can do about this.

It's the actual browser that has changed, we just changed with them.

I know that Mozilla (Firefox) has disabled status bar changes by default on their latest browsers. You can switch it on but this is not something you can expect your site visitors to do.

The version that has status removed is version 5.751 so anything prior to that should be ok

Hi,

Please keep in mind that if you do revert to old code we will be unable to support you here in the forum. You would be almost 20 versions downlevel.

Just FYI...

I was wondering about this as well.

Thank you for the information regarding the browsers.

I guess it isn't a big deal, just something I like to add to make the site easier to navigation

Hi,

Well, you can use title to put out information, or tooltiips.

If you put title=whatever text youwant there; in the aI string, when you mouseover an item you get a little yellow box with the text. You can't control where that is as far as I know, but if you use tooltips to put that in, you have more control.

Admittedly it doesn't do it in the status bar, but it does allow you to give info.
