AI Thread Summary
The issue discussed involves a PHP page utilizing JavaScript to change the status bar message in Internet Explorer 6.0.29. The problem arises when the status bar does not appear on one machine despite both machines running Windows XP and the same browser version. The code used is onmouseover="window.status='hello'; return true" and onmouseout="window.status=''; return true". The inconsistency suggests a potential configuration or settings difference between the two machines, as the code functions correctly in Firefox. The discussion raises the possibility of a Microsoft-related issue without a clear solution.

We have a funny problem :bugeye:

In a PHP page we have used following code:


onmouseover="window.status='hello'"

I runned the page on two diffrenet machines both runnig win XP and both with the same IE version (6.0.29).
In my surprise, on one of them, there is no status bar. But on the other one the status bar is working and the 'hello' message is shown properly.
What could be the reason?
What can we do to solve the problem?

P.S Both of them have the same screen resolution 1024*768.

Actually it is what you have written here. Could it be a Micro**** error which has no cure?
 
Ok, I just tried it in firefox and works just fine. I have no idea what's going on.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
