Re: onmouseover routine



Well, here's one of my site URLs as an example....
http://www.ricksmith.com/designs.htm

A very simple routine. If you let the mouse cursor hover above a link, it
states the purpose of the link. Like this....

<a
href="http://www.ricksmith.com/sigcour.htm"onMouseOver="window.status='Click
here to visit the famous Rick Smith Signature Course';return true">Rick
Smith's "Signature" Course</a>

Weird thing is, when I load this document, it does not work (nothing shows
up in the status area).... not until I press the "back" button and then go
"forward" again. Then it works fine.
No one else is having this problem?
