I just tried, and got an “illegal character” error. Then when I tried using the code from the beltzner blog and edilee (mardak) I got an “uncaught exception” error. Any thoughts/tips?

Brenton, hmmm, I couldn't get it to work either (I just did it manually) but have had people tell me that they DID get it to work. I have no idea why it works with some people and not others… sorry man.
I just saw on the Edilee blog that you have to be using Firefox 3.1 for the code to work, and I'm using 3.0.4. So manual it is. Oh, your benjamin link isn't working.
