Text Info Query

SPR

Hello,

How do I put a text message in the bottom left hand corner
of my web page (ie next to the explorer icon). I recently
added a micsoft add banner that rotates a few images
around, but unfortunately I am now left with a "loading
www.adss.sdfsd.com/ert.jpg message. I would rather have it
either blank or somthing of my choice. I am using FP2000.

Thanks

It can be done with javascript.
try a Google search for:
"status bar script"
with the quotes.
The first or second hit is your answer.

Hello,

Click to expand...

You need to execute a JavaScript statement like:
window.status = "";
or
window.status = "Your ad could appear here.";
sometime *after* the Banner Ad Manager Java applet does
it's thing. One way is to add an onload= attribute such
as this to the <body> tag.

onload="setTimeout('window.status=\x22\x22;',5000);"

This clears the status line 5 seconds after the page
loads. \x22 means hex character 22, the quotation mark.

Are you aware, though, that most Windows XP systems can't
display Banner Ad Manager components? For more info, take
a peek at:
