Sometimes the strongest comments can do some good. Unfortunately, it is
not practical to remove the javascript inserts, since they provide 14
separate web news feeds and a translation service. None of these can be
replaced by other means at present. These are useful for the many who
can run javascript in their browsers (Firefox is good for this).

On the bright side, the mouseovers were not essential. With them, a
global search and replace returned the web pages to normal functioning.
In future, enhancements will be created using external CSS (cascading
style sheets).

Thanks for the useful guidance.
