STATUS BAR
• The status bar is located at the bottom of the browser window and is
used to display a short message to visitors of your web page
• Some developers display a message when the web page first opens
• Other developers might change the message to reflect whatever the
visitor is doing on the web page
Building a static message
• We can build a static message which is displayed on the status bar when
the web page opens and remains on the status bar until web page is
closed
• The content of status bar is value of window object’s status property
• Static message can be built using following syntax
window.status = “Welcome to this website!!!!!”;
CHANGING THE MESSAGE USING ROLLOVER
• You can change the message on status bar as the visitor moves the
mouse cursor over the objects on the page
• You can use onmouseover and onmouseout events for changing the
status bar messages
• You can create java script function to change the status bar message as
the mouse rolls over different objects
MOVING THE MESSAGE ALONG THE STATUS
BAR
• You can give the status bar message a sense of movement
• For that, you can use setInterval ( ) method to call the function at fixed
interval say, 1000ms
• The function will display the message in status bar by adding spaces
before the original message
• Each time the number of spaces will be increased, which will give
moving effect to the message
BANNER
• The banner advertisement is a hallmark of every commercial web page
• It is typically positioned near the top of web page, and its purpose is to
get the visitor’s attention by doing all sorts of clever things
• Nearly all banner advertisements are in file format such as GIF, JPG,
PNG etc.
• You need to do following three things to incorporate a banner
advertisement in your web page
- Create an array of image file names
- Create an <img> element in your web page with the height and width
necessary to display the banner advertisement
- Build java script that loads and displays the banner in conjunction with
the <img> element
LINKING BANNER ADVERTISEMENT TO URLS
• A banner is designed to encourage the visitor to learn more information
about a product or service that is being advertised
• To get additional information, the visitor is expected to click the banner
so that a new web page opens
• You can link a banner advertisement to a web page by inserting a
hyperlink into your web page that calls a java script function rather than
URL of web page
• This java script function then determines the URL that is associated with
the current banner
