The <status-frame> element is used to specify the content and height of the status frame in an IMF application when it opens. As an error could result if the actual status script is loaded into the frame before the map is loaded, it is best to load an empty document into the status frame initially, and let the status frame be updated when the map is finished loading. It is recommended that you omit the <status-frame> element from your site configuration file unless you have a good reason not to.

<status-frame url="$FRAMEWORK/imfBlankGray.jsp" />

Note that the status frame script is called whenever the map is refreshed, the active tool changes, or the active identify or select layer is changed. The default status frame script is imfStatus.jsp, but if you wish to use a custom script to display in this window you can override this value using the <status-script> element.
