[Javascript] Calculating large number of different values

[Triche Osborne]

Hi Fred,
	I may be greatly over-simplifying your situation, and if so, I 
apologize, but there were a couple of points on which I was a bit fuzzy 
and you didn't include a link to the problem documents.
	Anyway, I made up a form and script to mimic the behavior you seemed to 
be describing. Here is a link to my form and a text version of the JS 
driving it:

There is a departure from your description of note:
	(1) You indicated that the set of dropdowns in your version were  "for 
the current date." Since you did not indicate that they performed any 
function other than obtaining the *current* date, I obtained it from the 
JS Date object instead. If you are concerned that the user's machine 
date will be inaccurate or if they perform some other function such as 
allowing the user to choose a future date for calculating projections, 
this is not appropriate, and you will need to put the dropdown(s) back in.
	If this is not what you were describing, perhaps you could clarify the 
differences and include a link to the documents so that I/we have a 
better picture.
