Typical MVP answer!

This is where Microsoft should step in and do it. It would be so much easier
on us all that Microsoft get this done as opposed to having customize and
build up a feature whereas Microsoft only has to tweak their version to work
in other non-IE browsers such as Firefox and Safari.

If Microsoft wants to REDUCE the amount of code, this would be a good place
to start.
