It was for the bgimage position, so it wouldn't position lower than the
browser will scroll down to.

Good point.  I've changed the JavaScript to make this method work, and
put it in the <div> foreground.

I've played with some of these ideas, and none of them seems to work the
way I want.  I'm thinking I'll just left-align the whole thing.  At
least then everything lines up in all browsers.

One thing that does work:  Wrapping it all into a table.  However, I
wanted to use a table-less CSS design method this time, following some
discussion from the last UPHPU meeting.

True.  I'm going to keep them at least for now, because it makes for
easy validation.  Sometimes the online validator finds things my local
Tidy tools miss.  I may still keep them afterword because if I use this
site in my portfolio, those buttons will have meaning to portfolio
viewers.  I also want to promote compliant coding everywhere I can.
