I want to create a status bar message that turns off and on repeatedly using:

1. the setInterval() method and
2. an if...then statement

This is my code, but it does not work. I do not understand how to employ an if...then statement in this situation. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Just as an afterthought, you should also change this:

window.status=(window.status==statusMsg)?'':statusMsg;

for

window.status=(window.status==statusMsg)?' ':statusMsg;

This will make sure that it does not flash between statusMsg and "Done". The blank space I have added should solve this.
