You'll be happy to know that Drupal 6 will do that for you. :-)  (Except in 
IE, where it's just too hard to work around the complete 
lack-of-functionality that is IE.)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas 
Jefferson
