I'm not strong on my javascript, but that's because I tend to avoid
it...it breaks in weird and unpredictable ways between browsers (even
when something is labelled as "compatible", the alignment of Venus seems
to disturb it), it's a pain to maintain, bloats the pagesize, and
doesn't work if they have it turned off or are using any of the new
handhelds/smartphones/whatnots that don't support javascript.  (And as
an onClick, now your page doesn't work at all)

So could you tell me if this is any different that embedding a similar
function in your CGI::App subclass?
