Windows XP menus do not support changing the text of a menu item from JavaScript.
The JavaScript changes the text on Mac, but on windows the text does not change.
The address book has code checked in the changes the text of the Delete menu item
in the Edit menu depending on the item that is currently selected (address book
vs. card).

Please attach a test case. This works for everyone else. :)

You are doing setAttribute("value", "foo")... correct?

Yes, commandNode.setAttribute('value', value);
This works on the Mac.

I would like to look at a working example because waterson and I confirmed that
it was simply not working on Windows.  My test case is checked into the tree: go
to the address book, click on an address book and the text of the "Delete" menu
should change from 'Delete' to 'Delete Address Book'.  It does on the Mac but not
on Windows.

You left out a key piece of the puzzle... namely that you're using broadcasters.
 Reassigning to waterson, since this is not a problem with the menus but with
the broadcaster hookup.

Unable to verify with code checked into tree.  It is possible that the text is
being changed but when attempting to change a menu item from "Detete" set to
disabled, to one set to "Delete Address Book" set to enabled, I get "Del..." set
to enabled.  I cannot confirm that it is working.  I need to file a new bug about
the menu not growing to allow for this longer text (assuming that it works).
Unable to verify at this time.

OK, fix verified.  The menu text does change now.  I had to hack up a test to
confirm.  Marking verified.
