Hi Lee, I'd like to read and respond to your technique but I can't see any javascript in the source code for your email, presumably stripped out by virus protection or email client. Please post your example on a server and post its URL. Embedding examples of HTML and active javascript in email is probably always a mistake... If your technique depends on javascript, I suggest that it isn't merely browsers that don't support the DOM that won't execute it but also modern browsers with scripting turned off, whether by user preference, corporate mandate, or other reasons. I mention this merely to indicate that the population your technique excludes is probably larger than you imagine.
