I have a problem applying CSS3 and pretty round buttons to my HTA app.

As soon as I enable

Answer 1

I can't say my answer could be considered well-documented. However, we do find a culprit in passing parameters by reference, undoubtedly. Times change, none the less (being nearly 50 years in programming) I dare say that all the implementation variety of the pass by reference concept seems to keep equivocalness eternally. Not only in different programming languages...

VBScript, for instance: the same script gives different results with Windows script host, or (to keep in topic) with HTA and different meta http-equiv tags, e.g.

I can offer working version of your HTA

• Main change: your arrays arrX (i.e. arr0(y), arr1(y), … arr7(y)) combined in one quasi-matrix die2d(X)(y) and accordant passing ByRef arrX replaced with ByVal X. More explanation in code comments.
• Additional button Test Array with corresponding onClick procedure Sub TestArray to demonstrate ByRef passed parameters treatment and behaviour (array type). Click it more than once to see in-sub local changes versus script public changes. Cf. also comments in code.
• Additional (alike) button Test Scalar, procedure Sub TestScalar to show ByRef passed parameters behaviour (not array type).
• Absolutely unsuccessful attempt to trap and inhibit Esc, F5 and Alt+F4 keys. For instance, the refresh F5 key clears the form and data at all...
• Crucial changes with comments in code.
• Some minor cosmetic mutations.
• Some minor debugging leavings, e.g. Option Explicit etc.
• Untouched some inconsistency in logic, e.g. in DataAreaXb.InnerHTML displayed another value than computed (and saved) arrX(3) Points.

Here's the code:
