OK, looks quite clever an attempt. I guess it would be tricky to
adjust to the surrounding not overlaying the text at the bottom
(in my FF and Safari) when the font size is upped a notch or two
by the user?

It fails a bit in Safari, the right vertical col is not clean (it
is one and a bit 'question boxes' wide. So still not up to Nick's
js in simple performance. Not yet at any rate. <g>

My swim is coming up soon. Got to go.
