That code looks nice and clean, and might do everything Antaeus wants ...
EXCEPT that it can't (or at least I don't think it can) be used inside a
button the way he wants.
The solution is to rewrite the javascript code so that it accepts values
from <$set> variables outside instead of parameters.
Someone could eliminate the parameters and instead put these lines just
inside the run() function:
var format = this.getVariable("format") ;
var delay = this.getVariable("delay") ;
var ts = this.getVariable("ts") ;
I haven't tried it though. If anyone tries this, they should be sure to
back up their TW. A single mistake can cause the red-block-of-javascript
doom to pop up.
