Also some people might not have helped despite wanting to.  I read your
post and decided to leave it alone because I could not see clearly what
the problem was.  If you don't know the first thing about client-side
scripting you need one sort of answer, but if you know a lot and are
just having trouble with some detail, then you need another sort.

Then there is the question of constraints.  If it has to work on every
browser ever, most of the problems will be fiddly ones of compatibility.
If you have control of the browser environment the solution will be
simpler.  With so many variables, I know from experience that the chances
of hitting on anything useful are very small.

I could take the time to try to get some clarification but that is so
often met with annoyance that I rarely bother these days.  Your post had
a couple of signs that suggested you wanted to shut down questions and
just get to "the answer" so I remained silent.

tl;dr: Be specific about what you know and don't know.  Specify
constraints.  Signal that you are open to discussion.
