That's awesome, thank you. I only have a very very basic understanding of
javascript and want to learn, so I'm going to try and understand this as I
implement it, so it may be a bit. I'll let you know once I get it up and

weekend and we're waiting on test results, so I'm off work and have some
extra time. I'll start looking at it tonight and may have it figured out by
tomorrow.
