Create a function as follows:

,----[ JS Code ]
| function add_status()
| {
| window.status = "Hello World"
| }
`----

Now add an argument:


,----[ JS Code ]
| function add_status(string)
| {
| window.status = string
| }
`----

(not tested, so assume syntax to be more like pseudo-code)

From the drop down menu, use the function to grab the entry (as in manu item)
string and pass it using add_status(menu_item). I believe it doesn't get any
more complex than that.

Hope it helps,

Roy
