 IE and the status bar

Hi

If I use the following code it works fine in Netscape but not in IE

<A HREF="myfile.html"
  OnMouseOver="window.status='MouseOver';return true;"
      <!-- prints MouseOver in status bar-->

  OnMouseDown="window.status='MouseDown';return true;"
     <!-- prints MouseDown in status bar-->  no it doesn't

  OnMouseOut="window.status='MouseOut';return true;">
      <!-- prints MouseOut in status bar-->

  <img SRC="images/mypic.gif" height=25 width=95></A>

Is there any way I can get the onMouseDown to alter the text in the status
bar?
I want it to display my text rather than the URL specified in HREF.

Thanks

Dave
