DHTML Spottings Galore

Danny Ayers gets into the fisheye menu game, and the comments hold a slew of nifty stuff.  Most notable is a *fast*, highly graded implementation of the fisheye zoom for lines of text from Ilya.

It's really a shame that the IE event model is non W3C compliant.  Ilya and Danny resort to hardcoding onmouseover and onmouse out on each line of text to attach the zooming behavior.  This is not inobtrusive.  A better approach is to use something like Scott Andrew's add/remove event script and attach the zooming behaviors to, say, each span inside a designated container.
