You're posting on a perl list (a language with an reputation (to
outsiders) for line-noise style cryptic code, and you haven't written
it in JQuery? For shame!

Plus you can probably cut that code down quite a lot, just in
complexity and size.

Seriously, writing JavaScript without an external library is like
using Perl without CPAN. Sure you can, but why? Life's too short for
NIH....
