           //only output the script once..
           jQueryScriptOutputted = true;

           //output the script (load it from google api)
           document.write("<scr" + "ipt type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></scr" + "ipt>");
       }
       setTimeout("initJQuery()", 50);
   } else {
