window.status and frames

[Vahan Yerkanian <root@multi-m.arminco.com>]

Today I bumped into strange problem:

I got page with to frames, one acting as toc and another as content.
So, thing I wanted that to overlap standart url location in status bar
at bottom of window with custom messages. the code like

<A HREF="url" onMouseOver="window.status='message'">url</A>

works on non-frame page and fails on multi-frame one.

even putting

<A HREF="url" onMouseOver="window.frames[1].status='message'">url</A>

doesn't solve the whole thing.

Anyone got any ideas? Will greatly appreciate any comments,

yours,
