Hi  

I'm assuming you want some text to appear on your status bar when someone mouseovers on a link.

So.... this code should work.  
(It should be onmouseover and not onmouse over. Forum didn't allow it so I had to separate it.  )

code:

---

<a onmouse over="self.status='Link Description';return true;" 
href="yourpage.html">Link</a>   

---

Hope that helps
