Read/Write  

Specifies the default message displayed in the browser window's status bar when no browser loading activity is occurring. To temporarily change the message (during mouse rollovers, for example), set the window's status property. Most scriptable browsers and versions have difficulty managing the setting of the defaultStatus property. Expect odd behavior.

 
Example
 
window.defaultStatus = "Make it a great day!";
 
Value

Any string value.

 
Default

None.
