I didn't get any takers.  I'll interpret that to mean no one had a
solution handy, so I'll post mine here.  I've been learning a little
JavaScript and came up with a first version of a page that seems to work
more or less as described:

Critique / comments welcome.

Pages I found helpful to learning Javascript (and resources that they
are linked to including the more official ones) :
http://javascript.internet.com/
http://www.utexas.edu/learn/
ttp://www.webreference.com/javascript/961202/part02.html

BTW beware of books with typos in examples like _JAVASCRIPT, AN
INTRODUCTION_ by Brian Cooper www.dk.com   Makes learning frustrating.
