Alex, to be honest, I have become accustomed to avoiding binding expressions due to performance hits, especially with large array collections and dataproviders. I have become sooooo accustomed to doing this, that it didn't even cross my mind. But a binding expressions are brilliant in this situation and streamlines the process considerably, getting rid of two unneccessary methods and a timing mechanism that can't be 100% relied upon. Thanks for this simple but very useful solution. Here is what the skin code looks like now:
