Richard,

Technically you are indeed correct about html not being a language.  That
was just a term that I have come to use to explain what I am looking for.
Maybe it's not really an accurate term since it is technically incorrect.

Thanks for the response on the javascript though.  That was what I expected,
but you have confirmed it.

Thanks again,
