This returns the status bar to its default status after showing whatever in the onMousover.
onMouseOut="window.status='';
This would put the text "Isn't this annoying" instead of returning the status bar to its default state.
onMouseOut="window.status='Isn\'t this annoying';
If you leave the code out all together then the status bar will continue to say whatever you put in the onMousover even after the mouse was no longer over the link.
Different browsers handle all this different. I'm using Safari to read this board right now and it ignores stuff trying to mess with the status bar altogether so I see the rue URL and all this code just gets wasted.
Both of Cleo's reviewers use Mac IE to do reviews. It responds to both onMousover and onMouseOut so your code with the extra space in it replaced its status bar with an empty space instead of returning it to its default state which shows what zone it is connected to.
