How to reuse function attribute?

I want to do something like the following:

function StatusBox() {
    this.connectionStatus = $("#connectionStatus");
}

StatusBox.nosupport = function(type) {
    StatusBox.connectionStatus.html('<span style="color: red;">' + NO_SUPPORT + '</span>');
};

StatusBox.error = function(type) {
    StatusBox.connectionStatus.html('<span style="color: red;">' + ERROR + '</span>');
};

But I get Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'html' of undefined

How do I reuse $("#connectionStatus") in the child functions?
