 Yep, would be a simple solution, but sadly since nearly 80% of folks
 insist on using IE it is hard to use a STANDARD feature that will not
 work with 80% of your site's visitors. The JavaScript, although not as
 elegant, will break less....
 
 Often in this NG folks say 'supporting a standard is meaningless' but I
 say as a designer, until there is cooperations and compliance, web
 design will continue to be a PITA and websites will continue to break....
 
 Job security I guess!
