Hey, I've done a little writeup on why it doesn't work properly under Firefox (and some other little issues I ran into), and the fixes so that it should work all fine.

Got it here, if you'd like to have a look: http://pastebin.com/eZR2TSrC

Thank you for the code you offered, and I will implement it right away. There are so many different things to debug, I kept post-posting this one. I like how you binded the events instead of calling them inline. It's also a much better coding practice.

this is what i love about the internet. you're a great person. i also thank you on sean's behalf :)
