Just FYI. We did use Javascript to do this (similar to code below). It
worked fine in IE 4+, intermittent problems in Netscape 4+. Also, we found
that people would turn off Javascript (for whatever reason) and whamo, no go
on keeping them out. So if you are counting on this for some security reason
or other process, make sure to first check for Javascript support and then
not let them into the page if they do not have javascript enabled.
