How To Change Status Bar Text With ASP.NET?
Changing of web browser's status bar text can be useful in some scenarios. You can do this with JavaScript, but you can manipulate JavaScript with server side ASP.NET code. One of possible implementations could be code like this:
[ C# ]
public
partial class
DefaultCS : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void
Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs
e)
{
// Create a message string
string strMessage =
"This is a message in status bar";
// Register startup script to show a message in status
bar
this.RegisterStartupScript("SetStatusText",
"<script>window.status='" +
strMessage
+ "';</script>");
}
}
[ VB.NET ]
Partial
Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub
Page_Load(ByVal sender
As Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
' Create a message string
Dim strMessage As
String = "This is a
message in status bar"
' Register startup script to show a message in status
bar
Me.RegisterStartupScript("SetStatusText",
"<script>window.status='" & _
strMessage
& "';</script>")
End Sub
End
Class
window.status remarks
Note that this code needs JavaScript on client side. If visitor is disabled JavaScript, text in status bar will not be changed. Also, there is a problem with browser compatibility. It will work in Internet Explorer, but will not change status bar text in Firefox web browser.
