Interesting. I suppose you are right. I also suppose, in the same vein, 
that it would behoove you to include titles for the links in your 
demo--that's also a content issue.

OK. The concept of this script is the main thing. It could be adapted to 
other situations without great difficulty.

Thanks for the idea.
