Using string object in function

I'm trying to get around the limitation of a function that accepts a
string primitive but does not allow for setting attributes of that
sring by using a string objet. It is not paying any attention to the
attributes I set. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing worng?

var msg = new String(
'WARNING: Quiting now will cancel all changes up to this point, ' +
'leaving your schedule as it was when you began this session. ' +
'Are you sure you want to quit?'
);
"msg".blink();
"msg".fontsize(7);

if (confirm(msg))
{
document.location.href = '<jsp:getProperty name="req"
property="contextPath"/>/regcontrol?command=SessionDone';
}
else
{
return false;
}
Thanks.

Your first mistake is not reading, and following, the answers to other
questions you have asked about this same matter. You continue to start
new threads asking the same question and the answer remains the same -
you can't.
