Thanks, Julio.

I'd rather not want to redesign the whole code to solve a comparably
simple technical detail, though.[*] I also want to avoid introducing
third party lib's. - Sorry for not having been clear about that. I'm
aware that me asking for a "different approach" might invite responses
that include suggestions of arbitrary complexity or effort. This was
not my (primary) concern. But thanks anyway for the knockoutjs pointer.

If common opinion is that the intended primitive task is not solvable
in any simple way that's also okay for me, since (as I said upthread)
I could implement a staightforward and simple workaround.

[*] The library link you gave refers to "Model View Viewmodel" and
Wikipedia says: "A criticism of the pattern comes from MVVM creator
John Gossman himself, who points out overhead in implementing MVVM
is "overkill" for simple UI operations."
