Thanks, but I can't think of a way to achieve the functionality I want
using methods like this. I tried some other solutions first and they
all had problems which made them un-workable. See below:

for(var i = 0; i < link.length; i++) {
	link[i].onclick = swapStories; // This has the problem that I can't
pass the argument through so it's useless for me
}

for(var i = 0; i < link.length; i++) {
	link[i].onclick = function() {
		swapStories(i); // This has the problem that the function isn't run
until the element is clicked, and since I'm passing a counter the
value is useless by the time the event triggers
	}
}

for(var i = 0; i < link.length; i++) {
	link[i].onclick = function(i) {
		swapStories(i); // This seems to pass the MouseEvent through, which
is useless for me. I just want the counter.
	}
}

Any ideas?
