I just tried your code, not working (with IE7 and Firefox 3.5 both on
Windows Vista Home Premium). The complete test code below. [...]
Maybe I didn't do something right.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
Validity aside, this cannot work because at this point the BODY element has
not yet been parsed and therefore the object otherwise referred to by
`document.body' is unavailable. You need to call a function (e.g., in the
`onload' attribute value), or place the SCRIPT element in the BODY element.

Man, silly me, totally out of mind!
The static one is working. The following one which is generated
dynamically with a loop count of 4 failed to render the dot. What
have I missed?
Many thanks.
