Ha! I looked at your post too fast, and didn't notice that it was pure
Javascript. Sorry. I'll try it and see.
The way I currently have it will not work with javascript turned off
either. I'm doing it this way only because the client is requiring the
user to have Javascript enabled to use the site (it's a backend system
for very specific clients). They want to add all sorts of animations
and effects like everyone wants to do once they see JQuery animations
in action.
