Oh man, I can't believe I added in a Javascript feature without testing it
on IE. Then again, if I had seen that it didn't work in IE I might have just
given up on the whole thing, so maybe it was all for the best... in any
case, this new code seems to work perfectly across all browsers. Thanks a
lot for the discovery, and the fix.
