<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with the other chap -- what we have here is
a syntax problem with too many quotes of the wrong sort. Escape the inner
double-quotes (so they don't break the parsing structure for the tag), and you
should be OK. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thusly:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>menu.addMenuItem("<a class='M'
href='/index1.php' style='text-decoration: none' target='info'
onmouseover='window.status=\"blah-blah-blah\" '>Click
here</a>");</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and we should be good to go. You do need to
use both sorts of quotes, because consecutive descending child objects must be
delineated by distinctive separators. [Or so I recall].</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you want to insert a variable in place of
"blah-blah-blah", you can try the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>var myString = "blah-blah-blah";</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>var newItem = "<a class='M' href='/index.php'
style='text-decoration: none' target='info' onmouseover='window.status=\" ' +
myString + ' \" ' > Click here </a>";</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>menu.addMenuItem( newItem );</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[ depending on the flavor of JavaScript (1.0, 2.0,
etc.) you may need to wrap the newItem declaration in an eval, although I didn't
need to on any of my tests. ]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just on general principles, I'd probably suggest
escape(myString) instead of raw myString -- just in case "myString" has any
funky characters in it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried this,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>But it is not correct.</DIV>
<DIV>because the javascript assumes ....' window.status=" as end of parameter
and resulted in error</DIV>
<DIV>I also tried</DIV>
<DIV> var status1="asdasd";</DIV>
<DIV> var menuitem1="<a href='/index1.php' "</DIV>

+"onmouseover='window.status="<BR> +status1<BR> +"
' "</DIV>
<DIV>
+"
> Click here</a>"</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
menu.addMenuItem(menuitem1);</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>This time it is just displaying onmouseover in the status bar</DIV>
<DIV>Any solutions</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 --</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>menu.addMenuItem("<a class='M'
href='/index1.php' style='text-decoration: none' target='info'
onmouseover='window.status="blah-blah-blah"'>Click
here</a>");</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
