Subject: [javascript] Status Line display


I have an image which has been mapped. I would like to display an 
appropriate message in the status bar as the mouse pointer moves over 
the different parts of the image. This is the code I have included 
within the <AREA> tag is typically:

onMouseOver=3D"status=3D'this is a red square'; return true;"

The return value appears to be being ignored, as the URL is displayed in 
the status line when the mouse pointer is over the image, but the 
specified text appears when it is moved off the image.

Can anyone tell me how to get the desired result please?

Pat
