[Javascript] Code optimization

[Troy III Ajnej]

As a matter of a fact, your proposal of using ul li for file list
(when I look back) wasn't in vain.
It was going to save him at least 2 extra chars per line of html.
And in the list of 100 files that would mean 200 characters, 
and that's min -4 new lines per hundred=96 instead. Also the 
semantics of the code would improve slightly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                         Troy III                           progressive art enterprise~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
