[thelist] Javascript on the fly ... not flying

Sharon,

Not sure if you solved this yet, but when I run into problems like
this I take a "Back to basics" approach.

I pull the javascript out and place it in a new document, and put
anything its supposed to effect in as well - a simple skeleton
document, no css, no nothing else. But in the DTD you want to use.

Clean the code up and format it the way it should be.

Then go from there, I find I make much better progress this way. Then
you can add in elements and find the problem.
