Fair enough. Copied code, logic not mine, not enough time to analyze.

Function below is near perfect: two typos - 'documet' in line 2 s/b
'document' and 'visibile' in the last line before the two closing brackets
should be 'visible' - this one gave no error and required that I actually
read the code and use my brain. Tough stuff for a Monday.

Much coolness. Thanks jeff.
