How do I get an OMOUSEOVER status change for an AREA element?

Using the standard
  <AREA ONMOUSEOVER="window.status = 'Kibology'; return true'" ...>
unfortunately fails with IE5 (works correctly in IE4, not supported in 
IE3). It seems to be a timing issue as a short delay works
  <AREA ONMOUSEOVER="setTimeout('window.status = \'Kibology\';', 1); 
return true;" ...>
