Simple Status Bar Clock
This script sets the status bar text to the current time when a button is pressed.



Discussion

 This script uses the function setMessage() to set the status bar's text by changing the window.status object. Some early Netscape Navigator 2.0 releases do not produce the correct time. This will be fixed in future releases.

The function setMessage

function setMessage(){
    var now = new Date();
    var statusStr = now.getHours()+':';
    var statusMin = now.getMinutes();
    if(parseInt(statusMin) < 10)
        statusStr += '0';
    statusStr += statusMin;		
    window.status = ("The time is "+statusStr);
}
