The solution I am using is much the same as yours:
//JavaScript:
function displayStatus(theStatus){
var msg = theStatus;
window.status = msg;
}
Bear in mind though that this will not work in Firefox (and possibly
Safari - havent checked on a mac) - on these browsers, Javascript
cannot be used to change the status bar unless the user has
specifically allowed it...
