Display Status Message

The Display Status Message action shows a message in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window. For example, you can use this action to describe the destination of a link in the status bar instead of showing the URL associated with it. To see an example of a status message, roll your mouse over any of the navigation buttons in the Dreamweaver Help Pages.

To use the Display Status Message action:

1 Follow steps 1 through 3 of the procedure in Attaching a behavior.
2 Select Display Status Message from the Actions pop-up menu.
3 Enter your message in the Message field.
The Message field is intentionally small to remind you to keep the message concise. The browser truncates the message if it does not fit in the status bar.
4 Click OK.
5 Check that the default event is the one you want.
If it isn't, select another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Events For pop-up menu.
