 Thanks! Simple when you see it, but I didn't know about the magic
 doLater() function... sometimes the simplest things are the best.
 
 As a matter of interest has anyone used this approach for handling
 lazy loading of data?

I think you'll get more predictable timing. doLater() [sorry - I really
meant callLater()] doesn't guarantee anything about how much later it
might be.

Be aware that doLater is replaced by callLater() in 2.x.  Similar
syntax.
