Damn! Brilliant brains think the same? ;)

I actually tried contacting you on Skype to tell you I was working on it 
(I had a feeling you might also be doing at least some initial work),

Damn. Don't you just love IE? My IE VM is not running good these days, 
so I did not test this one tbh. Good excuse for getting it fixed I guess.

I will try to figure something out and post a v2 that will work in IE as 
well.
