Using Javascript to Change the Status Bar

Call me oldfashioned, but I think that using Javascript to change the status bar is soooo '98. Seriously! I like looking at the status bar to view the href attribute of anchors. In fact, one of my biggest gripe about implementing websites in flash is the lack of the status bar (as well as the inability for me to take advantage of features in my browsers anchor contextual menu like “Open in a New Window” & “Open in a New Tab”).
