Thanks, Ferg.

I had been googling a bunch of terms, but none that had any relevant 
hits.  As soon as I posted this, I tried another one, and found a bunch 
of things.  Of course, they were all just for IE, but I'm sure if I kept 
going, I'd find a cross-browser solution.

Thanks, this seems to be right up my alley...not very elegant, but it works!
