You are setting the attribute to JavaScript true and false not string "true" and "false" . This could be interpreted by the browser as 1 and 0 and lead to unwanted results.
You're using unknown attribute hightlight. It's IE so it supports attributes according to its name (what's seems to be harder than supports every attribute name, but... it's IE).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
