That's why I like js widgets Walden. All the cross browser stuff, etc is
taken care of.

OK, very true, and a poor choice of words on my part. I should have
said, cross-browser js is hard :) 

Seriously, getting simple JS to work is, well... simple. Getting js that
support drag/drop or full css integration is harder. And it's only
getting harder still. 

IE5.5, IE6, IE7, IE8, FF1.5, FF2, FF3, Opera, Safari on Windows, Safari
on Mac, IE on Mac, IE on PDA, iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, etc.
