You missed the bit "in my pages".  Because I like to have scripts in the
source adjacent to the forms that use them, the scripts in the heads (if
any) (and in include files) rarely contain specific material such as
alerts (apart from warnings issued as a result of browser testing, which
apply page-wide).  You also missed "as a default"; I have always
intended to provide a possible second argument giving the exact
location, as an ID string or an element reference.

I would not expect; I would test.  It might be OK, but does not need to
be.


General : FYI :
        CSS :           .TWO { border-bottom: 0.6ex double black; }
        HTML :          <span class=TWO>Maths result</span>
gives a nice text-scaled double underline, as I was taught to use in
school.
