onMouseOver sucks!

["Konrad Kim" <KRad@spacelab.net>]

because it never does what I want it to do namely:

Is it possible to do a mouse over event to the status bar in ANOTHER window?

I have my windows settup so that the "main" window spawns another "control"
window. Thus a mouseover in the "control" window should put a msg in the
status bar of the "main" window. But this is not the case as it produces it
in the status bar of the "control" window. Here is the code contained in
the control window:

<A HREF="navibar2.htm" onMouseOver="top.status='Stop Annoying me!'; return
true" ><IMG WIDTH=134 HEIGHT=100  SRC="testmo3.gif"></A>

So what is wrong? Is what I am proposing not possible?
