Does initial "Page Load Time to Status Bar" work for you in FF3?
If I switch tabs in FF3 it doesn't change anything in its Status Bar. Sad

It looks like FF3 doesn't handle Status Bar property by itself. You have to set "window.defaultStatus" every time the windows gets focus (and never touch "window.status", BTW). Otherwise it shows an old value Sad

IE, on the other hand, supports it properly by itself. You switch tabs and it displays appropriate data in status bar immediately.

Here is example of page that helps FF3 to show status bar correctly. But it uses onfocus handler:

Code:

<html>

<head>

<title></title>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

function onF () {

  window.defaultStatus = 'Default Status 01';

}

window.onfocus = onF;

//--></script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

If I make couple of web pages (having different def. status numbers, of cause) and load them into different tabs of FF3 - I can toggle status bar correctly by switching those tabs.

Do we have an event of changing tabs in our code? It could be an on getting focus event or something? There would be the place to put a line to set "window.defaultStatus" appropriately.

Or may be there is just another simple solution that I do not see at the moment...
