[tpm] [OT] Javascript to watch for certain KW from a web page

[Antonio Sun]

Thanks Shaun.

Yes I did use jQuery eventually. As I have zero knowledge of Javascript, I
started easy with Mark's code on a static page, once successful, I moved on
to jQuery.

Thanks for your recommendation. jQuery is really powerful and well
commented.
I was able to get my job done with only the knowledge from the following
two tutorials:

The load() method
http://www.jquery-tutorial.net/ajax/the-load-method/

Showing progress

Thanks
