This is an advanded DOM technique created by [Stuart Landridge ](https://web.archive.org/web/20091201163750/http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle/ "Stuart Landridges' site, kryogenix.org. has quite a few more interesting javascript peices worth investigating...") and works wihtin the principles of [unobtrusive DHTML](https://web.archive.org/web/20091201163750/http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/aqlists/ "Unobtrusive DHTML and the power of unordered lists").
