You can basically ignore everything inside <>'s, because those are what's known as HTML tags, to be interpreted by the browser. The stuff *outside* the <>'s are mostly meant to be displayed to the user in the browser window. The window.location line is the bit of code that causes the redirect back to the 18 page that you kept experiencing.
