One possibility is that:

  self.status='Shrapnel Records: America's first heavy metal label'

has three single quote marks in it - the bad one is the one in
"America's". Not sure if that is the problem, but it could be. Try
using a variable to store the status text, as in:

  mess = "Shrapnel Records: America's first heavy metal label";

at the top of the page. Then:

  self.status = mess;

in the mouse processing script.
