Here is another version of the drill down page. In the case javascript
isn't available, the drill down rows are displayed.
Notice the correspondence between the name tag in the input field and
the id tag on a row. The name tag value prefixes an incremented number
in a row list. I started the index with one (1). All the name tag
values need to be in an array in the changeAll function.
I find it best to eliminate or at least minimize the use of the font
tag when using javascript to modify elements.
I have not done extensive testing on the various browsers.
Is there any way of grouping multiple rows so that you can address them
from within javascript? This would eliminate the need to run down a
row list. I tried nested tables, but I could not get the page to look
the same, and it was more html coding anyway.
