OK - as soon as I write it up and then starting banging on a solution I 
discover that one of my "facts" are wrong. ;-(

Apparently Firefox does not blow up when passing event object properties 
via the function call. (I don't know what I was doing last night when I 
thought that statement was true - but obviously I was delusional.)

Anyway I think I have my solution:

onmouseover:
	this.style.cursor='pointer';
	showColorCombo(##, event.screenX, event.screenY);

Oh, well. Back to work.

P.S. Just started lurking again, nice to be back.
