Well, friend, let's avert the question of "what works" for something better. First, thank you kindly for helping out. I'm only getting to this now; have not implemented your programming corrections. If you will, can you please slow down over the detail regarding the errors? I just learn enough programming to do what I need it to do, not unlike an "amateur" photographer (which I am :-)
So, before I go about this half-blinded, not really knowing why it works (as you see, I did sweat for what I've got), can you explain a bit slower, precisely why I must take to account the larger context of these corrections? I'm just trying to learn.
Also, is the following code (for the text engine (
~/iijima . . .) ok? ---
setTimeout("setInterval('alterText();', 90);", 2500);
I've heard complaints about similar usage, but not as how to fix it.
