TDR unable to create monsters

I just discovered this site and the awesome tools for vehicle and Tyranid monster design rules. The VDR works fantastic and will be a great asset in bringing fairly recent models into 4th edition 40k. I was trying to do the same with the TDR, and was unable to create anything properly because whenever a warning prompt appears it is stuck on a prompt about "The shared weapon option is only available for large weapons." which seems to lock one of the weapon options to a venom cannon.

I haven't checked these for many years. I'll try to take a look at it over the weekend, probably some issue with Javascript and modern browsers as the TDR page was written over 20 years ago and I modified it back in 2008 to work with browsers at that time.

EDIT: found the issue, the javascript used a variable name "status" to hold a numeric value of the options selected and then bitwise compare it to constant numbers, but the "status" variable is forced to be a string by modern browsers (it used to work 18 years ago!) so causes the issue. I've renamed the variable to stat and that appears to have fixed it.
