It does not.

Fool, this is not an (Web/Internet [relay] chat) room, it is a Usenet 
newsgroup.

As for “javascript”, see my sig.

My point was your wrong, wannabe terminology.

The record shows, and this thread shows it again, that the OP does not know 
what the heck they are doing.  Neither do you.  It is very obviously cargo 
cult programming at best.

As I have showed, string concatenation to build markup from variable values 
is _not_ how this is done properly with regard to maintainability, runtime 
efficiency, and security, to name just the most important aspects.  And, for 
sure, the values that are displayed to the user certainly should not 
coincide with the values used internally, so, missing HTML escaping aside, 
using “fn” in those two places is *wrong*.

Your concluding that the OP’s unexplained omission constitutes a change of 
mind is far-fetched, to say the least.

 
Does it require a formal complaint to your service provider before you stop 
abusing the example.com documentation domain?

Does it require lots of people to killfile you before you get yourself a 
(real) name?

Or can you, perhaps, just FOAD, before you spread further wannabe nonsense?  
Because we really do not need yet another one of you.  TIA.
