Does anyone know how to put in your own text into the status bar...

You know when you put your mouse curser over a link,it says the url in the buttom-left corner.how can I put my own text in insted of the url..

And how can I do it with an Image?

how do you do this so that when people load your page it already has a status message, then it changes when you mouseover? I've seen people do it with marquees and things, but I just kind of want it to say Welcome when people load. It would be nice to know how to make it into like a marquee or something, but for now I really just need the text there.

go to javascriptkit.com they have the code there, just look for 'satus bars'
