Hi ellandrd,
You can set the default status bar text by
window.defaultStatus = "This is the status bar";
and some text on mouseover event by
onmouseover="self.status='
Cheers!

Are you using Firefox?
The main use of this functionality is to deceive and the user, and hide the true destination of links.
As there are very few legitimate uses, it's deliberately blocked by some browsers as a security measure.
In Firefox, you can set a preference to allow this functionality by going to:
Options -> Content -> Advaned ... (next to JavaScript options)
There are two separate options under "Allow scripts to:"
'Hide the status bar' and 'Change the status bar text'
You shouldn't even be trying to do this... what's the benefit to the user?

ellandrd,
Oh, and maybe wrap the event handler replacement and execute it onLoad
function SetEventHandler()
{
window.captureEvents(Event
window.onmouseover = MyMouseOver
}
<body onLoad="SetEventHandler"; ...>
