David,
I've been using jquery to build an icon picker for FAMFAMFAM's Silk
icon set. I've got a working version (at http://dsingleton.co.uk/code/icon-

$(document).bind(click, function (e){
// get the target element (srcElement for IE, originalTarget for
W3C)
var el = e.srcElement || e.originalTarget;
if( el.tagName == A el.className == icon ){
alert(Hey, I'm an a.icon element!!!);
return

a habbit rather than being lazy. I understand about the idea of ID for
a unique instance and classes for repeated types, but this was thrown
together rather quickly as a demo, so the semantics aren't
