Yes. I haven't had time to test this assertion fully. I wrote a simple
version of this function but found that when I came to put it into the
GM that hacked the bank login page it failed in all sorts of
interesting ways.

The script I posted is the result of hours of tinkering to get it
working in just that environment.

But you're right - I now need to experiment with the problems and
simplify it. I'd also like to make the box themeable.


Still - just this code *might* be useful to someone.
