    <script language="javascript">      		
var statusmessage="Enter message here to scroll! ";
	 	function StatusBar() {
                window.status = statusmessage;
          	statusmessage = statusmessage.substring(1, statusmessage.length) + statusmessage.substring(0, 1)
    setTimeout("StatusBar()", 150
</script>
    Code (markup):
    Is this what you want?

    You should be aware that this practice can be ill-regarded, particularly when done in such a way that it inhibits the intended use of the status bar. For those who must do it, this script endeavours make it more acceptable. It can be configured to stop after displaying the message any number of times, provides the option of multiple random messages and pauses to allow URLs to be displayed:

    You're welcome in advance.
