My apologies for the version which ended up being deployed, which is well below the level of quality I normally aspire to.

I've just committed a major revision to the AK script which I'd design-sketched a while ago but had shelved pending a better handle on how to write unit tests for LW.

The newer version should be compatible with IE, more responsive than previous versions, and should allow more fine-tuning in future versions.

However I can't offer any guarantees as to when Tricycle are likely to pull the changes and deploy them to the live server. I don't know yet how best to coordinate with the Tricycle crew when working on the LW codebase, and the current situation was also a consequence of that.
