@mecha, you are absolutely right - sorry about that, I'll try to track down where I found it.

I'm a complete hack, anything I've put on this site that looks remotely intelligent is probably not mine!

Can't remember where I first found this or who originally created this technique but I've found a few others who are using it that reference Paul Irish's excellent html5 boilerplate. http://html5boilerplate.com/
