You can change the window status bar text messages of web browsers using javascript code. In Javascript there is a DOM object window that represents the browser window displaying the web page. This window object has a property status that allows changing the text of window status bar.

Status property of window object accepts the string message that sets the text in the status bar of a window.

Javascript is a case sensitive language, so remember to use status property in lower case.

JavaScript code to change window status

<html>
<head>
    <title>JavaScript Change Window Status</title>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad()
    {
        window.status = 'JavaScript Tutorial to change window status';
    }
    </script>
</head>
<body onload="pageLoad();">

</body>
</html>

To change the window status text you have to create a javascript function like pageLoad() function in above example. Call that function onload event of html body.
