Ohne Zweifel - but why should that be of concern to this newsgroup?

But it seems the original questioner maybe didn't, so your answer was
seriously defective.

By handing out a proposed solution which not only *used* JS - but was
completely *dependent* on it (that's an important distinction), you
evidently failed to include important information which - you now
claim - was already known to you.
So the situation is even worse than had been depicted by Andy Dingley,
when he wrote:

He certainly does run that risk, indeed.

Without the relevant information which you now say that you already
had - but withheld from your answer, it's not clear how the questioner
could take a properly informed decision.

I just want you to notice that when you spell out a detailed solution,
withholding the appropriate caveats which, you now say, you were
already aware of, you *are* advocating the techniques which are used
in that solution, whether you say so directly or not.

"_Please_ learn to code with some semblance of decent style before
posting these rubbish snippets."
