I'm sure you see the problem...prevmon(), in the onClick event, is
not defined prior to being mentioned in the onClick event. But what's
the solution?

The solution is that there is no problem. Javascript is an interpreted
language with very lazy semantics. Functions are not resolved ahead of
time, but only when they're actually called. At that time, the entire
source is scanned, so forward declarations aren't necessary.
