DHTML Status & Unterminated string constant Error

Can anyone help with this? I'm not very familair with DHTML, but after
some testing I've figured out what is causing my error. I'm trying to
modify an XSL for the Google Search Appliance to match our site layout.
I'm coming across an error in the rollover DHTML. The error is
"Unterminated string constant" The code works fine within HTML but in
the XSL stylesheet it causes an error. 1 word status' are fine in the
XSL stylesheet.

It only happens when the status attribute has more than one word. I've
tried nbsp code, etc. Does anyone know a solution/workaround to this?

Thanks!!

Here's my code:

<td id="subnav4" class="nav_td_main" width="115" height="20"
onmouseover="this.style.background='#0E566E';this. style.color='#FFFFFF';status='Plan
Your Visit';"
onmouseout="this.style.background='#FFFFFF';status ='';this.style.color='#000000';"
onclick="window.location.href='http://americanhistory.si.edu/visiting/index.cfm'">Plan
Your Visit</td>

"Unterminated string constant" means that a string contains a character that
needs to be escaped OR that a string constant does not have a closing
quotation mark. For example:

"Plan your visit << should be "Plan your visit"

and...,

" "Plan your visit " " << should be "\"Plan your visit\""

The snippet _fails_ to work on any of my browsers as written. However,
changing the 'status' to 'window.status' makes the code work fine for me.
Post a link to the site so I/we can look at the stylesheet as well. Your
code was tested on Opera, Netscape, MSIE, FireFox, Mozilla.
