thanks. i thought of using a timeout and it could probably be made to work fairly well. but i'd be left with the worry that some user's crummy old browser and computer that's too busy doing other things might need a longer delay than i set.
we can insert event handlers at the beginning of the event propagation chain. or catch the event later as it bubbles. but i've never heard of attaching a handler to the chain after the browser has done its bit. i was wondering if this was just my ignorance or if it just can't be done that way.
