That is NOT a catch, 
and is does not mean it will not work,
because browsers are developed to be forgiving,
more forgiving than I am.

Crossing the motorway blindfolded could leave you unblamished too.

However,you are just mistaken in saying:

Well yes, we are not in the business of providing you with all the code,
my code is just an example for you to understand what is possible.

I am not interested in that. I want you to learn by applying and testing 
your own code, so that your Qs on this NG become more challenging that at 
the present.

If you expect to get code that works to your specifications as-is,
you better hire a professional programmer.
