Look look! I'm making the page dance! Too much fun...

I recently installed NoScript to make myself feel safer, and it's been eye-opening to see all of the <noscript> presentations and default behaviors for people who don't have javascript on. Yours is the winner so far. :)

I’m glad it got seen by someone besides a phishing bot. :)

Nicely done! I didn't notice this was an interactive post when I read it via Google Reader. Get it working on buttons next!

Thanks. Nothing as fun as stupid JavaScript.

You could probably do that—buttons—pretty easily but messing with form elements (the button input:value might be case sensitive) could break a page’s functionality.

I tried for 5 minutes to incorporate into a post, but Wordpress doesn't like Javascript; I'd have to do some hacking and I haven't had enough coffee yet.
