From: Al Dunbar on
You are welcome.

It is unfortunate that you felt a little offended by Tim's contribution - I
didn't see it as offensive at all. When he wrote this:

[I think your "requirement" for html-only is wrong (unless there's
something else you've not told us)]

I think he was really saying basically what I had said, but in a different
manner:

[Rather than explaining how you want to accomplish what it is you want
to accomplish, perhaps you could explain what it is you want to accomplish,
as there still might be a way to do that.]

I don't think he was suggesting any sort of dishonesty or ill motive on your
part. People often inadvertently "withhold" the parts of the problem that we
need to see. And one of the things most often withheld is what the actual
requirement is, as people often confuse that with what they think might be
the nature of the solution of their problem.
