Rupert,

Thanks for that - that's incredibly concise code!

It still displays the empty text node problem at the top of the list
(try moving the 2nd paragraph up to the top position) in Gecko-based
browsers, and I notice you've put all the HTML on one line, avoiding
creating too many empty text nodes.

One version I did looped through the childNodes collection and removed
any textNodes, which is a bit of a sledgehammer, but worked. I shall
keep investigating.

Cheers,

Tim
