Andry The output from the script is pure HTML, since the code snippet I provided needs to be preexecuted by the OpenText (RedDot) CMS within the template... which obviously needs Classic ASP and/or Asp.Net to run dependant on CMS version. You can probably use ColdFusion code to do the work, since you can tell the CMS to run any code language within the templates, but generally the CMS box already runs Asp so we use both Asp and Asp .Net.
Jian's jQuery solution does work, however you don't get the A-Z functionality without JS enabled. Generally, I think that's a bad thing for universal readability and certain types of websites have to meet certain levels of functional compliance without JS enabled.
