Extension error if DW is not restarted between uses

DWMX 2004 on a WinXP pro SP2 box. I am not running as superuser, but I'm also only adding this script to my personal config folder.

The extension is a very simple JS designed to automate some redundant find/replaces when cleaning up code in documents converted to HTML from within Quark.

When I start Dreamweaver and run the script, it works with no error. I can even run several similar extensions in a row. But try to run the script a second time on a new document without closing and restarting Dreamweaver, and rather than performing those nice automated find/replaces, the script throws this into the head of the document, then does nothing:

<head>
<title>Cleanup</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

I'm developing this for a team of people that are not going to want to have to restart DW every time they work on a new document.

This is probably something simple that I'm just overlooking. Code is below. Any ideas?

I notice that you execute the JS inline. I think this is the problem,
because DW loads extensions only once per session and then stores them
for subsequent use. Try placing your JS in a function and then calling
it in <body onLoad="yourfunc()">.

There is a lot of code in the Configuration folder, so search through
for some examples.

Hope this helps,
Randy
