LOL, no, i’m really not. I have Ilyas and Senocular to thank for most of what I know.

But while we are at it…

button_array = new Array(b1,b2,b3,soOn);

can be rewritten as

button_array = [b1,b2,b3,soOn];

Since [] signifies an array. You can even replace just the regular empty array of

myArray = new Array();

with

myArray = [];

You can do the same for objects.

myOBJ = new Object();

can be replaced with

myOBJ = {};
