Allen,
Good point, and per your email, another good point on the early return
statements in mine. i based that on a model i saw in other examples,
intended to prevent calling Prototype methods on elements that don't
exist (i.e. $('elementID') returns undefined).

i guess i tend to think more in an as-i-need-it way, which is
admittedly bad form. i try to be forward-flexible, but don't always
see beyond necessity. /slaps own wrist
