Q. How can I update the status bar in Microsoft Internet Explorer?

A.

In javaScript do:

	window.status = 'Hello World';

Its a handy debugging tool.
Some people even do primitive animations:

<script>
function tick()
{
        window.status += '*';
	setTimeout('tick()', 500);
}

tick();
</script>
