Agreed, which in most cases, as I just said in a previous email, it is. In
fact looking through it that little script is just about the only bit now
which is inline. I might see if I can shove that to the top later, not sure
in its current form if its going to work outside the form tags without
modification, dunno, will play and see.

Hehe - I've got a definite feeling that when I say I'm writing a CMS that
people might have a few prejudged misconceptions as to exactly what its
going to be :-)
