Hi to all of you!

Let's discuss this, okay?

I know you know what JavaScript is, don't you?
If you own a website - free or paid, I believe that there must be at least one JavaScript, <script...> </script> on your web pages, right?...

Now, let's have a talk about these two JavaScript scripts:-

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function AlertMe()
{
alert('OK Then!\r\rYou want a neat box like \"this\" one?\r\rWell!\r\rYou\'ll need:\rBrains\tBeauty\t\tTalent\rMoney\tDog food\t\tLuck\rA Cat\tEye of Newt\tA Shrubbery!\r\rAnd the ability to \'read\' this tutorial.\r\rOK?')
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

<center><form>
<input type="button" value="Click Me!" onClick="AlertMe()" />
</form></center>

You know the rules( I assumed you're ) - JavaScript is CASE-SENSITIVE, so make sure alert('TEXT HERE AS ABOVE') is in ONE LINE, okay?

So, save it as [whatever.htm/html] file and open it in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Can you see the difference?...

I've read from a source that I don't remember anymore... that "there was no one script that worked in both Netscape and Internet Explorer".
So, I think that's true because some JavaScript Script ( just like the above ), and the "Event Handler", such as:-

<p align="center"><A HREF="http://www.webmastermalaysia.com/" onMouseOver="window.status='Go to the WebMasterMalaysia.com Page';return true">Click Here</A></p>

... won't work in Mozilla-based[GECKHO ENGINE] Web Browser such as Mozilla itself, FireFox, and [ Netscape ] - I guess:-)), and it shouldn't anyway...

Don't get my point?...
No problem!
Just add it to your previous file( above ), and open it both in IE and Firefox.
I bet you won't see anything on your window's status bar if you open it in Firefox!...
Why?... because I've seen some, if not ALL of that "window.status" wouldn't work with Firefox.
So, think twice before you tend to trick people with that way, ok...?^_*!

I don't know why should there be that difference in IE and Netscape JavaScript application, and that's why I write this LonG LonG message...:-)
Does anyone there know the reason... or reasons...?^_^!
Happy thinking!
P/S:- This isn't an advice, but more to my point of view only - If you want to see whether your Web Pages work well on MOST Browsers, you should consider previewing them both in IE and Netscape. I love Firefox, so I myself test my Web Pages with Firefox! --> Isn't Firefox a Great Browser?;-D

i think.. nowaday... nobody want to use Netscape anymore lah..
so old and s*cks laaa..

nad i also think that 'alert box' javascript is a newbiew 'loving stuff' only..
i hate it very much.. sometimes they put 10 - 20 alert.. duhhh...

// swith to firefox now

why did you think so?

don't matter la even alert boxes are newbies favourites, still they're nice looking...
but sometimes annoying too:')
10-20?!...
uhh... what alerts are that huh?...
that's really not good laa...

yuppss!
Firefox is even better... so standalone! so great!:-))

the window.status will not work in some browser change it to a suitable one.

Okay then, but how... or what is your suggestion?
I don't think that "window.status" will work on FireFox...
But, I'm of course still looking for any Script that would.

Haha.... i'm totally wrong! All your code is OK! That's only because of your firefox browser. Check the Javascript enabled.... click at the 'advanced...' button and check 'Change status bar text'. That's all. Hahaha... LoL

Funny that I don't know about it...
But, one thing first...
When I posted that message, I was already talking about a javascript-enabled firefox browser lee...
I was testing that script, so that I needed to enabled javascript...
But the thing was that even though javascript was enabled, still that "window.status" didn't work... I mean not working at all...
So, that's that...

I mean you must enabled the change [Change Status Bar] (Check right it). OK, if u don't know just follow my simple step.

1. Click [Tools] menu -> [Options]
2. In the left menu click [Web Features]
3. Check the 'Enable Javascript'.
4. Click the [Advanced] button in the right.
5. You will see a list of 'Allow Script to:'
6. Check the 'Change Status Bar Text' and then click OK & one more time OK.

That's All!!
