Apparently not. If you did you would see that what I offered was quite
helpful.

Oh that will fix it, hey Travis another job for you!
Seriously! You do not have a webpage, as I said before you have an image
of a webpage. It could be easily done with a couple of images, with real
markup a bit of CSS and NO JavaScript! The advantages would be a
fraction of the bandwidth, legible and accessible to a range of users,
and be search engine friendly. How this would not be overly helpful
boggles the mind.
