Lon, I agree with Rudy. Very nice technique! I'd love to see this 
implemented and played with further. I like what you've done and see a 
terrific use for it. From your original note, it seems like such a logical 
approach. Keep going. And I like Michelle's idea of publishing this at 
evolt.org, too.

I'd love to play around with this for a webpage or two also. This would 
work on any page that links to it, correct? In other words, if a visitor 
came to your site and wanted to change the entire site, they could? (I'm a 
designer/developer, not a programmer, so I apologize if it's a newbie 
question!)

Warmly,
Shirley
