One of the most popular “Window Tricks” being used these days is the StatusBar Message effect - when a customer points his cursor at a link, a message appears in the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser window.

Here’s how to do this in NetObjects Fusion:

1. Create a Text or Image object to set up as a link in the Page View
2. Click on the “Link” button in the Properties window
3. Select “External Link” as the link type, and type in the appropriate link code (see “Link Help” for a brief refresher on relative links)
4. Click on the “HTML” button in the bottom left corner of the “Link” window
5. Select the “Inside Tag” tab, and type in the following code.
   
   

   onMouseOver = "window.defaultStatus = ''; window.status = 'This is the message which appears when you put your cursor on the link.' ; return true"

   
   
   as one line and click on “OK”
