Tiddly Novice,
Thanks for sharing with the community. I am a Super User rather than a Java
script writer. So it is not as meaningful to me as it would to others.
However If a knew better what you wanted to do from the get go, I could
more than likely do it in WikiText/Macros.
If you want to post your desired solution, I would be happy to have a go to
illustrate the possibilities, or even a way to simplify your javascript and
make it more versatile.
Regards
Tony
