[Javascript] Replacing link text with random string of equivalent size...

[Flavio Gomes]

This Message is PVT.

 Ben, I had it done earlier in Mozilla.. but as always I had some 
problems with Internet Explorer. It's working now.
   I'm sending you a test version, if you tell me that's ok, then we 
talk about that little $$$ stuff, ok?

Ps.: there are two version, the first testFirst.htm doesnt check if the 
character replaced is a number or alpha and is case insensitive, and 
testSecond.htm is case sensitive and checks if is it a number.

Regards,

Flavio Gomes
