I've put up a test case at
http://www.mycgiserver.com/~directcareer/js/test.html
I need IE6 to correctly recognise the coordinates like Firefox does,
I've tried different methods but no luck so far. Any help would be greatly
appreciated - I've spent far too much time on this!
Apparently a bit of a 'race condition' there...

Don't forget doctypes for testing like this; layout will vary with
different ones specified.
