I appreciate the input but what originally brought me here
was a suggestion on another NG given that the suspect
was a possible JS typo or syntax issue in one of the cited
JS lines. My scripts are otherwise full of mistakes and
that never did nor never will bother me one bit seeing that
I'm not a programmer; I just figured that if by chance all I
would have to do would be a minor edit, then well, I'd give it
a shot.  I'm not prepared to get involved beyond that level
any more at my age, partly because rewriting would require
too much and *still not give the desired results*. So I'll just
convert to plain html and href tags and leave one module
still using JS as was. It'll work as long as it will, then it''ll fail
back to some more or less usable default level. End of story,
but I do thank you for the suggestions.
