Is there in fact a way? I'm surprised that I haven't found out how to do this through the manual, or http://www.emacswiki.org. -- Yahoo uses Javascript in a few places, though not many. I once asked someone there how this worked out, and he said "they ended up learning a lot about different browser versions." --Paul Graham (http://www.paulgraham.com/road.html) Seen on http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/
