hello!! that's absolutely not a problem, real life happens and this definitely wasn't ( and isn't! ) a big, big deal for me.

i had just been wondering if there was a method and if there isn't, it is was it is. i thought there might not be since it didn't seem as though the code was "incorrect" to me, either. if it's a browser issue, at least i know i haven't messed up your awesome code. thank you so much for looking into this for me, i appreciate it!
