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.
