How can I display this message???

:D using this code in the Browser's status bar while 26 seconds of code executes?

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--
// You may edit the message below.
var statBarMsg = "This message appears in the status bar ..... " +
"It will repeat continuously while the page is viewed ....." +

"good, right? " ;

function startStatusScroller()
{
window.status = statBarMsg;
statBarMsg = statBarMsg.substring(1, statBarMsg.length) + statBarMsg.substring(0, 1)
setTimeout("startStatusScroller()", 150)
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

You should place the statBarMsg inside the function, and are you calling the function? (ie < body onload ='startStatusScroller()' >)
