There is something that doesn't work here:
The lengthy processing function requires values to be passed to it from the error display process. It does nothing to the values displayed, but it does need them to know what to calculate default values for.
I can't pass the values to the processing function if they haven't been set yet.
Also, site policy says I should not modify the html code with scripts. I need to set styles and values instead.
Also, you put in an alert. That alone will cause the display to complete. But I don't want to distract the user from what he is doing with an alert.
I guess I still don't get the big picture. As far as the processing function requiring the data is concerned, you can always make the function which is called before the processing function to make changes to the global variable(map or associative array). This way you don't need to pass anything. Plus you get to decide when to call the processing.
And the 'alert()' in my code was just an example.

I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.
