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.
