This seems to be similar to peterned's button replacement technique 
[http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/blog/accessibleform.html] which I'm 
forever plugging. I used it on my last project (I seem to remember a 
problem I encountered with the script - will check through the trac and 
see how I fixed it).

However, I'm set against content replacement here - almost on a whim. 
I'm slowly shifting to a policy of keeping HTML as clean as possible and 
making cosmetic tweaks, as far as possible, to stick entirely to script.
