Hi Matt, Denis, and Jukka:

    Thanks for all the info.

    I now understand it :))

    .. and I guess I'll start out with an initialized nodeValue of 
'Searching ...'  and, of course , in the enclosing division I'll set (in 
CSS) to display:none; on the original page,  then when actually searching, 
I'll set it to display: inline;, then if I've found the item, I'll change 
the text to 'Found' or whatever.

In any ccase,

    Thanks to all of you !

-Mel
