Hi

TAG:

<a href="javascript:setStatus('Techie Description 2');"
onMouseOver="setStatus('Techie Description 2');return true"
onMouseOut="setStatus('Some Blank Message');return true">Techie Term 2</a>

In HEAD 

<script language=javascript type=text/javascript>
<!-- //Set Status
function setStatus(strString) {
	window.status=strString;
}
// -->
</script>

This should work
