This file formats the "red" display, and mostly is just responsbile
for setting up the itnro countdown text and then the navigation sheme.
It looks at global variable called "page_type" that is created in func_redView.php
to determine what type of navigation to display.
It stores a quick session only cookie to decide if to show the intro text or not each time.

The above code may not look like much, but it just added a whole new functionality to
the default string object- the ability to output any text backwards! Here are a few examples:
var message1="Welcome to my site!"
message1.writeback()
var message2="Today is a beautiful day"
message2.writeback()
