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. | |
