[thelist] Bit of javascript help

[Dan Parry]

I'll start by apologizing because my mail server is being weird and scary
and I may end up sending several replies by accident... Sorry

Now, thanks to all who have replied... There is a lot of stuff I need to
read in the excellent replies... for some reason I really can't get my head
around closures

Yes! That works perfectly, thanks

In my turning-to-cheese brain I decided I couldn't use the this keyword as
I'm also using it in the prototype function I'm calling... I heard the
phrase 'repetition is the hobgoblin of small minds' the other day and may
have taken it a bit too literally

Emails sent to myself usually end up in my junk folder (maybe I only send
junk?) so I checked there too
