   It seems jQuery is required for this plugin to work? I couldn't find it in the installation package and it's not mention anywhere on the plugin's site.

   I already use Prototype so I don't really want to include another JS library. Is it really necessary to depend on jQuery for such a seemingly simple task?

   you're rigth.

   i fixed loading jQuery in version 0.0.4 (if only i could find out when jQuery was added to WP... bummer) - and also added a copy of jquery for backwards compatibility

   this IS an early version of the plugin, maybe i will make it work with other js-libs as well in the future...

   Thanks.

   I'd prefer no dependency on any JS library. They add a lot of download overhead.

   This plugin should be possible by using straight DOM functions... right?

   personally i find that 31kB overhead quite bearable given the joy jQuery brings coding-whise. also chances are good that jQuery gets loaded by other plugins anyways (of course not all of those use WP's built in loading mechanism which would greatly reduce redundancies).
