[Javascript] Show full text in pop up window - findingobject position

[David Lovering]

I really do like the functionality of PPK's list generator (and the various
other bits associated with it), but for some reason my IE 6.02+ browser
always displays an error when I run his
http://www.quirksmode.org/sitemap.html script.  It seems to think there's a
missing identifier on line 504 of the script.  Mind you, IE's debugger is as
close to useless as anyone would want, so the only thing that's 100-percent
certain is that there's absolutely nothing wrong with line 504 of his
sitemap.html script -- but something riles it up, and I'd be interested in
finding it (and fixing it) before showing my clients this method.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln liked the play just fine.
