for sexy code, you are right... binding the click is way cooler than
all those identical-ish hrefs!
but it works... spend some time with ajax and just get the letters
that actually used, and perhaps a in page pull down menu for ALL the
items under that letter!
After all this is a new millenium, and you can save your users a whole
extra page and a whole extra click on that page!
and for loops don't have to be simple numbers!
for (L = 'A';L <= 'Z'; L= String.charCodeAt(String.fromCharCode(L)+1))
