By , About.com Guide

Definition: The statusbar property allows you to reference the status bar in the browser in order to test whether it is visible or not. With most browsers this is a read only field but some do allow you to output text into the status bar if your visitor has configured the browser appropriately. This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called statusbar but if you do then you will not be able to access that part of the browser.
