[thelist] JS - loading an external page

That is not possible. This setup won't work. The HTML will be loaded and
parsed, and it's impossible to stop it except by unloading the page.

I don't doubt there will be another solution for your problem, but for the
moment I can't think of it.

No doubt someone else will have clearer thoughts about this.
