SAFARI "Status Bar" Behavior Problem

I have set up my web page to show people's names in the "Status Bar" when the cursor is placed over their face in a picture. It works fine in most browsers, including Firefox, but works poorly in SAFARI. I SAFARI, it shows for a part of a second and then disappears. In Firefox and other browsers, it shows in the status bar continuously until the cousor is moved off the person's face. That is what I want to happen in SAFARI. Is there some way to tell SAFARI to show the name continuously in the Status Bar, rather than just flash it?

    Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

    One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
    You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

  • Safari Status Bar, no information while loading page

    This isn't new and I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere but I looked and didn't find an obvious answer.  In past versions (?) Safari's status bar at the bottom of the browser window used to show information about page loading progress while the page was attempting to load.  Items like
    x out of y items complete (or loaded or something like that)
    used to be displayed...
    Now, and for some time now, nothing...  Why???
    Now, there is nothing but the blue progress bar that moves left to right in the URL box while the page is loading...  As long as it's moving, then I can say progress is happening...  However, often the blue bar stops for quite a long time and by habit I still find myself looking down to the status bar to see what it says and it says nothing... 
    Again, this isn't new now but I'm just now getting curios enough to ask about it... 
    Am I doing something wrong or do I need to take some addtional steps to get useful information out of the status bar??? 
    What's up with the Safari Status Bar???
    thanks...

    But what about when a page is loading and the blue progress bar in the URL window stalls.  Anytime that happens I look down to the status bar and where it used to offer useful information, now it offers nothing.  What happened to that???  Is there anyway to get info on a seemingly stalled load of a page???
    thanks...  bob...

  • Safari status bar no longer shows page load progress

    Hi...  Though it's been this way for a while now, perhaps since the start of whatever Safari version came along with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion ??, I've finally become curious enough to ask about the following...
    In times gone by, the Safari status bar at the bottom of the page would show page loading progress...  You know, the old xx out of yy items complete or something like that???  But now, nothing...  Nothing at all in the Status Bar while a page is loading...  Nor is there a spinning gear in the URL line to show you something is going on...  Instead, all there is is the blue progress bar that slowly moves left to right across the URL box to show you what is happening...  And often that blue bar stalls where it just sits for quite a while...  And when that happens I never know the details of what is going on...
    Do I have something set up wrong???  Or did Apple decide we don't need to know what's going on while pages attempt to load???  I sometimes quit Safari when I have a secure page log on that appears to stall and all I have as feedback is a stalled blue progress bar... 
    All I ever see light up in the status bar is the URL of a link I might hover over on a page...  Otherwise, nothing...  That doesn't seem right...  Again, am I doing something wrong in the Status Bar set up or is that all the Status Bar ever shows now????  And if the latter, why would Apple have chosen to stop letting us observe page loading progress???  At least that used to tell me something was happening..  A blue progress bar that stops moving doesn't tell me anything useful... 
    Any thoughts or help on this would be much appreciated...  thanks...  bob...

  • What happened to the Safari status bar?

    Before Lion Safari used to have a nice little piece of functionality in the Status Bar. Before I ask, let me explain what *didn't* change. Still functioning in the status bar is notification that the link you're hovering over wil open up in a new tab (or window based on your settings). See the image here
    http://d.pr/oPty to see what I am talking about.
    What *is not* happening anymore is this notification when you would like to open a link in a new tab (that otherwise would not) by holding down the command key. For example, you are on yahoo.com hovering over a link to an article. If you leave your mouse pointer over that link and then hold the command key down, the "in a new tab" note at the end of the URL in the status bar doesn't show up. This also worked for holding down the option key (download) and holding shift+command (in a new tab behind the current one).
    I hope I am explaining this correctly, let me know if not.

  • Question about safari status bar

    Hi All,
    I have a web application , mainpage contained an iframe . the Page in iframe will set data to status bar . And mainpage will scan status bar by a timer to get the update info . All the flow was controlled by JavaScript .
    It works fine with IE , but for Safari , i saw the status bar was updated and the data is correct , but window.status alway be empty .
    Did anyone know how to get the data ? if Safari can show the correct data in status bar , it should mean the browser contains the data , right?

    BTW , the version number of my Safari is 5.0.1

  • Apple Safari Status Bar.

    Safari's and Finder's Status Bars are not transparent like as top part of Safari or Finder. You can see this when you scroll the website or your local information on a mac.
    Looks like a design bag.

  • Status Bar Message problem

    I have a problem with the status bar messages.
    I have extended the ItemMasterData form and have added some items that hold extra data.
    In add mode, I have to make sure that values go both in the system table (done automatically by sap) and my table in the db (done by me).
    The issue is when the data in the system table is added ok but the insertion in my table fails.
    I add my data to the DB in the FORM_DATA_ADD event on BeforeAction false . In case this fails, I have to place a error message in the status bar and remove the inserted Items object ( it is only ok when both insertions work ).
    The problem is that SAP shows the "Operation completed successfully" and my error message is not displayed. Normally I could override the status bar events and modify the message, but I need the "Operation completed successfully" to be displayed when both inserts are successful .
    Any ideas on this ? Or some work - around?

  • Safari  & CSS rollover behavior problem

    Hi,
    I have a nav bar with rollover and active CSS settings (CSS3 including easing) that are not showing up in Safari.  I suspect it has to do with the id selectors, but havn't been able to determine which ones are causing the problem.  It works fine in IE9, & FF4, and degrades okay in IE8.  But for some reason even the simple color attribute isn't working on the rollover in Safari.
    Here's a link to see what I mean: http://www.juliepoguebarnes.com/bsr
    Please help a befuddled designer.  Any assistance is very much appreciated
    - Julie

    @julie
    I spent a litle time looking at your page and through some of the iOS documentation.  Through that I did find the answer.
    First, let's look at this piece of CSS:
    ul.topnav li a:hover {
         display: block;
         color: #000;
         width: 100%;
         visibility: visible;
         text-decoration: none;
         height: 49px;
         -webkit-transition: background 500ms ease;
         -moz-transition: background 500ms ease;
         -o-transition: background 500ms ease;
         transition: background 500ms ease;
         -webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 15, .2);
         -moz-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 15, .2);
         box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 15, .2);
         background-color: #C7BBAD;
    The first problem is that the transition is defined when the transition is happening.  For all the webkit examples I could find, you have to define the transition before the action.  So we will cut those lines.  I also deleted a few lines because they were identical to what was defined in the normal state and thus they were duplicate. 
    What I ended up with was:
    ul.topnav li a:hover {
         color: #000;
         background-color: #C7BBAD;
         -webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 15, .2);
         -moz-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 15, .2);
         box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 15, .2);     
    Next we place the cut lines into the original link declaration:
    ul.topnav li a{
         line-height: 3.5em;
         display:block;
         -webkit-transition: background 500ms ease;
         -moz-transition: background 500ms ease;
         -o-transition: background 500ms ease;
         transition: background 500ms ease;
    And there you have it.  It's now working in Chrome, Safari and Firefox from my testing (on a Mac so I'm not looking at Windows/IE). 
    @jpiracci
    The link you posted did not have a mention of the CSS3 transition.  Can you please post your affected link?

  • Set text of status bar problem

    I'm trying to hide the url in the status bar of the links in
    a graphic where I have a mapping situation. I click on the map box
    and select the set text of status bar behavior but it will not work
    while the mouse is over the mapped area. When I move my mouse over
    the mapped area it displays the url and when I move away from it it
    displays the text that I want to have when I mouse over. Any help
    is greatly appreciated. I've including the code below.

    Why do you want that? The status bar is part of the browser's
    GUI and of
    absolutely no interest for the website author. Additionally
    recent
    browsers will prevent scripts from manipulating it, so you
    should think
    about it again.

    You want to use the 'title' attribute to show additional text
    on mouse-
    over.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
    Here's an example of what I mean:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
    I have 3 of these and I really like them.
    From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
    Good luck!
