[Javascript] How to change window status

[murugesan]

I tried this,
    menu.addMenuItem("<a class='M' href='/index1.php' style='text-decoration: none' target='info' onmouseover='window.status="blah-blah-blah"'>Click here</a>");
But it is not correct.
because the javascript assumes ....' window.status=" as end of parameter and resulted in error
I also tried
    var status1="asdasd";
    var menuitem1="<a href='/index1.php' "
                            +"onmouseover='window.status="
                            +status1
                            +" ' "
                            +" > Click here</a>"
    menu.addMenuItem(menuitem1);
This time it is just displaying onmouseover in the status bar
Any solutions

  well, I'm not quite sure what "text" is supposed to represent, but I do recognize what might be construed as a syntax anomaly which would (possibly) invalidate the remainer of the anchor definition.  Try something like this --

  menu.addMenuItem("<a class='M' href='/index1.php' style='text-decoration: none' target='info' onmouseover='window.status="blah-blah-blah"'>Click here</a>");

  Also, the old precidence rules suggest (but I've never actually found it to be required) that the outer quotes be the double quote ("), and the inner quotes be the single (').  Mind you, I've violated the suggestion hundreds of times, and no one has zapped my karma yet.  However, defining a style (CSS) parameter outside of a style declaration is generally regarded as a no-no even now.

    I have a code

    menu.addMenuItem("<a class=M href='/index1.php' text-decoration:none target='info' >Click here</a>");

    Now I want to change the window status upon mouseover on this link.
    How can I achieve this?
    i.e I need a valid statement of form
    menu.addMenuItem("<a class=M href='/index1.php' text-decoration:none target='info'  onmouseover=' window.status="text" '>Click here</a>");
