Hi @nilshg and @jling  
I hear you both and respect your opinion. I’ll back off from trying to understand what is going on here. One thought about that, I think I might have taken the example out of context so it might be the BEST solution to a problem I didn’t include in my question.

Here is the place I found it. [the example I was looking at](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/interactive-data-table-in-pluto-jl-via-a-silly-hack/44678/12)

thanks for giving me your counsel
