Here is the HTML that is being output by my asp page:
<a href='Files/category/computers/bigimages/computers-sub-monitors.jpg'
target='_blank' onMouseOver="wi ndow.status='Cl ick for a larger image of
MONITOR, 19\" CODAR EAGLE.';return true;"
onMouseOut="win dow.status='';r eturn true;">
<img width='98' height='96' border='0'
src='Files/category/computers/bigimages/computers-sub-monitors.jpg'
alt='MONITOR, 19" CODAR EAGLE'></a>
Notice the \" . AFAIK this escape character is what I am supposed to do to
use a double quote in a string in javascript. But my browser (IE 6.0)
doesn't like it - it says it is an "unterminat ed string constant".
If I change the double quote to a single quote - \' - then the browser works
as expected: it shows 19' in the status bar. But the monitor I am
describing is really only 19 inches, not 19 feet, so that's not a real
option.
So am I using the escape character wrong, or have I just run into a bug in
IE6? 4  21412

Thanks! That worked.
I still think it is a bug in IE6 though that the double quote escape
character didn't work, because it does work with the single quote.

You are using the escape character wrong. This is not a bug. You need to
use " instead. As in:
....
MONITOR, 19" CODAR EAGLE';return true;"
