I have only tested this code in IE7... because now that I've said that, everyone with Firefox and Opera will immediately run off and test it in their browser, hoping it will break and make Microsoft look bad. If they don't start ringing bells and waving flags and crowing about the flaws of IE, it works in everything.

And if they're going to test it, I don't have to. So there. ;p

You have to also keep in mind that not everyone has Javascript enabled.
