Thanks, all, for the info. Looks like the best way to clean this up is to
make the model have some knowledge of the CSS class I want to use and make
a method to get it. I like that, but I was unsure about sticking view
information into the model. Probably the best solution is javascript logic
in the browser, which I'll get to.
