Introduction

Advance JavaScript
Part II: - Status Bar Effects

In this article we are going to see the ways to add different effects at the status bar of a web browser. The status bar is the small text area in the lower-left corner of a browser window where messages are typically displayed indicating download progress or other browser status items. It is possible to control the contents of this region with JavaScript. Many developers use this region to display short messages. The benefit of providing information in the status bar is debatable, particularly when you consider the fact that manipulating this region often prevents default browser status information from being displayed—information that many users rely upon.

Clock at Status Bar


< script language="JavaScript" >
function doClock() {
  window.setTimeout( "doClock()", 1000 );
  today = new Date();
  self.status = today.toString();
}
doClock()
< /script >

Here doClock() call function doclock. The Window object supports methods for setting timers that we might use to perform a variety of functions. These methods include setTimeout() and clearTimeout(). The basic idea is to set a timeout to trigger a piece of script to occur at a particular time in the future. The general syntax is
timerId = setTimeout(script-to-execute, time-in-milliseconds);

Here
window.setTimeout( "doClock()", 1000 );
today = new Date();
self.status = today.toString();

After 1000 milliseconds windows.setTimeout() call to doClock(). The Date object provides a sophisticated set of methods for manipulating dates and times. And then it converted to string and display at status bar.
