Several people have asked about the status bar in my jQuery Photoalbum example I posted recently. This is nothing fancy at all and actually quite simple to do, but since several people have asked me I thought I'd discuss how it works. Although this solution uses jQuery it's easy enough to do something similar with plain DOM code or another JavaScript library - most of what makes this work is really CSS (and I suspect that's what some of the questions were really about), rather than any sort of client code, although the component I'll show at the end is a little more involved.
