Hi Brian,
That's lovely! Our funders really like to see educational uses of our tools.
One thing to watch out in your code: don't use
<!-- ... -->
inside Javascript. That is technically only for comments inside HTML.
Instead, in Javascript, use
/* ... */
Some browsers might not like <!-- ... --> inside Javascript.
By the way, Tom Woodward has made a pretty impressive screencast
tutorial for Exhibit. Perhaps you could collaborate with him, too:
