This syntax is essentially correct (again you should have posted the 
*relevant* parts of the *real* code in a *separate* paragraph); the whole 
markup or browser (DOM implementation) may not.  “With no effects” is most 
certainly a wrong description, see <http://devtoolsecrets.com/>.

The personal pronoun for oneself is *always* spelled with a capital letter 
in English.

Get a real name.  Do not use Google Groups for posting if you cannot work 
around its bugs (e.g., producing lines of astronomical length).
