And now I've come full-circle. I was using that 1.5 code previously,
and the whole bindAsEventListener thing was to solve another problem I
was having with IE6-- the reference from the click is to the image, not
the link that wraps it, even though my loop is constructed of extended
A objects.
How production-worthy is the RC of 1.6?
Thanks very much.
