ooooh, yeah, that's right i *do* remember IE getting funky with this, now.
if there's a problem with a browser not accepting something...it's hard

They should both work, adding the return is more explicit though, and in

it tells you that you are 'return'ing a value back to the caller of
your custom handler.
