hello, i have what i think is a novice javascript problem, all help is appreciated.
i'm trying to run a couple of the same scripts with different arrays on the same page. the scripts are running fine, the problem is they're both grabbing from one array. normally these scripts live on two different .html includes, but for demo purposes i've combined them on to this one page. advice, thanks.
