Jquery is the best and can be used to do all of this stuff plus more.

		<title>Performance is in the Details</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week, some colleagues and I sat around a brainstorming table trying to isolate what was causing a particular page to load incredibly slowly in Internet Explorer 6.
