DESCRIPTION

       The ::javascript package provides commands that generate HTML  and  Java  Script  code.   These  commands
       typically  return  an  HTML  string  as  their result.  In particular, they do not output their result to
       stdout.

       ::javascript::makeSelectorWidget  id  leftLabel  leftValueList  rightLabel  rightValueList  rightNameList
       ?length? ?minWidth?
              Construct  HTML code to create a dual-multi-selection megawidget.  This megawidget consists of two
              side-by-side multi-selection boxes separated by a left arrow and a right arrow button.  The  right
              arrow  button  moves  all  items selected in the left box to the right box.  The left arrow button
              moves all items selected in the right box to the left box.  The id argument is the suffix  of  all
              HTML  objects  in this megawidget.  The leftLabel argument is the text that appears above the left
              selection box.  The leftValueList argument is the values of items in the left selection box.   The
              leftNameList  argument  is the names to appear in the left selection box.  The rightLabel argument
              is the text that appears above the right selection box.  The rightValueList argument is the values
              of  items  in  the  right selection box.  The rightNameList argument is the names to appear in the
              right selection box.  The length argument (optional) determines the number of elts to show  before
              adding  a vertical scrollbar; it defaults to 8.  The minWidth argument (optional) is the number of
              spaces to determine the minimum box width; it defaults to 32.

       ::javascript::makeSubmitButton name value
              Create an HTML submit button that resets a hidden field for each registered  multi-selection  box.
              The  name  argument  is  the  name of the HTML button object to create.  The value argument is the
              label of the HTML button object to create.

       ::javascript::makeProtectedSubmitButton name value msg
              Create an HTML submit button that prompts the user with a continue/cancel shutdown warning  before
              the  form  is  submitted.  The name argument is the name of the HTML button object to create.  The
              value argument is the label of the HTML button object to create. The msg argument is  the  message
              to display when the button is pressed.

       ::javascript::makeMasterButton master value slavePattern boolean
              Create  an HTML button that sets its slave checkboxs to the boolean value.  The master argument is
              the name of the child's parent html checkbox object.  The value  argument  is  the  value  of  the
              master.   The  slaves  argument  is the name of child html checkbox object to create.  The boolean
              argument is the java script boolean value that will be given to all the slaves; it must be  "true"
              or "false".

       ::javascript::makeParentCheckbox parentName childName
              Create  an  HTML  checkbox  and  tie  its  value  to that of its child checkbox.  If the parent is
              unchecked, the child is automatically unchecked.  The parentName argument is the  name  of  parent
              html  checkbox  object  to  create.  The childName argument is the name of the parent's child html
              checkbox object.

       ::javascript::makeChildCheckbox parentName childName
              Create an HTML checkbox and tie its value to that  of  its  parent  checkbox.   If  the  child  is
              checked,  the parent is automatically checked.  The parentName argument is the name of the child's
              parent html checkbox object.  The childName argument is the name of child html checkbox object  to
              create.
