[Javascript] Date Script doesn't jive

[Sara Coren]

Okay, now the entire page isn't working!!!  It was working last night when I
checked it at home.  The error I keep getting says there's an error on line
117.

I didn't spend time on it...give me a while, but in this case I suspect
"iname" has no value so a valid path isn't built.

document[iname].src = eval( iname + "off.src");

It was getting passed in by what calls it so the error is really in the
call, not this function. Search the code for "iname" and see where it gets
created.

Will take another look in a few...
