Creating fields for the day/hours might be the way to go. I'll have to
rethink it.
This is what I meant about javascript. You know how to get from point A to
point B. There's a well established mechanism. Many people have been on
similar journeys.
With widgets, I got part way from point A to B, and discovered my vessel
had a leak. In this case, the unexpected compaction of lists means that
lists don't work like arrays (which up to now has been my guiding
comparison).
Oh well, my first algorithm had some flaws, so I was starting over anyways.
Thanks!
