I hope I never have to maintain code like this. Are you really sure this 
is the best way to solve your problem? Almost anything would be better 
than this. JSP, XSLT, or even Velocity. Imagine having to maintain the 
Javascript code inside those strings.
Also, even though the compiler uses StringBuffer internally, isn't it 
still considered bad form to concatenate strings like that?
Oh well, why should I care? :-)

Try to strip it down to the smallest possible example that exposes the bug,
and then post it to tagsoup-friends AT yahoogroups.com (signup required;
send a blank mail to tagsoup-friends-subscribe AT yahoogroups.com first).
