Debugged some javascript that ought to work but

Debugged some javascript that ought to work but
breaks on Internet Exploder.  There's still a showstopping bug in there somewhere
but evidently Microsoft doesn't know that there's this wonderful thing called line
numbers, and instead just displays the helpful error message 'Content cannot be
displayed due to error 80004004'.  Still need to work on this.  Still need to put
every last Microsoft employee feet-first into a wood chipper.  Die Microsoft Die.
