[Javascript] Need help with Script

I use m$' pityful script debugger when testing pages in xPloder. On your page it 
threw an error about expecting an object in the flwg line:

   if (description.firstChild.nodeType == 3) {
       description.firstChild.nodeValue = text;
   }

An inserted alert showed me that 'description' was an object but had no id. When 
I subsequently alerted 'description.nodeName' it said 'META'.

Huh?!?

Then it dawned on me [I tackled this problem before] that xPloder is stupid 
enuff not to differ between 'name' and 'id' attribute namespaces. In this case, 
there is a <meta name="description" ... > tag in your document which, obviously, 
has no childnodes, hence the error.

Moral of the story: choose your id's wisely if you want your scripts to work in 
xPloder. In your case, rename your P element's id to something else than 
'description' [or remove the meta tag] and you're off.
