I am now back home again.  The problem was that I had forgotten to 
upload the file tablelistTsw.html.  I apologize for any annoyance caused 
by this! :-(

What is definitely not my fault, is that your browsers wanted you to 
accept some cookies.  My firefox browser simply displayed an empty page. 
  Now it can access and display the file tablelistTsw.html as expected.
