Again, thanks for the promptness! Adam, thanks for reminding me of that feature and you're right, it might just mitigate the need for the dropdown to be high up on the page.
James, that's a mighty slick implementation! Not sure what the JS looks like but I'm guessing it's pretty complicated. I also briefly experimented with something similar but had big problems page layout - the divs I had to add for the JS to work seemed to throw everything off. FWIW, I've got 15 sites running under WPMU for our elementary school so lots of moving parts. Thanks again!
