Oh my goodness, perfect! And I very much appreciate all the notes and links you included. I like to understand why I am doing something. So often, the books I have been reading don't explain the "why" behind the code, which is frustrating when I am trying to apply their techniques to other projects.
One last thought, I have tested this on a Mac, in that old cruddy browser IE, and in Firefox and Safari, and on a PC in IE (you say it works!) and in Firefox. is there anything else I should be testing in? Do people still test for Opera?
