Using window.status in ASP page

[rlb_wpg]

Is there a way to update the window's status bar
within an asp page?

I would like to show the different stages of the
report in the status bar. For example, connecting,
getting records, creating report, etc.
In html it's done by typing window.status="Getting Records"

It has to be done on the client side.

Try this:

Response.Write "<SCRIPT language=Javascript>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "self.status='Loading Report Data...'" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "</SCRIPT>" & vbCrLf
'more processing here
Response.Write "<SCRIPT language=Javascript>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "self.status='Doing something else..." & vbCrLf
Response.Write "</SCRIPT>" & vbCrLf
'more processing here.. etc...
