Hello,

I want to stop event propagation, here is a small example that doesnt work.
When there is a mouse over I would like to change the window status.
Thanks,

Chris

<script>
  function mouseOver() {
    var e = window.event;
    e.cancelBubble = true;
    if (e.stopPropagation) {
      e.stopPropagation();
    }
    status = "Yahoo!";
  }
</script>
<a href="yahoo.html" onMouseOver="mouseOver(); return true;">Yahoo!</a>
