[My guess why it doesn't work in non-IE - it's probably 
something proprietary to IE. Mozilla, NS6/7, and Opera 
are much more standards compliant. Mozilla and 
NS6/7 have chosen to not provide backwards 
compatibility. You might check the W3C, Netscape, 
Mozilla, or Opera web sites and see what they have to 
say about making such a thing work in a standards-
compliant way.

You only need one. Send the other 8 to me. I used to 
have 11, now I'm down to only five and just don't know 
what to do with myself and all this free time! ;-)
