Scroller Bar Form Element

In a thread somewhere, someone wanted to know if there was a form element that would create a slider bar for the users to select a rating for something or other.

Well I went away and made one in DHTML and it works in all but five browsers (IE 3.0 4.0, NN 4.79 Opera 5.02 6.00) that I have tested it on.
Once I had made it, I decided to make it more customizable by allowing users to set the width of the bar more easily.

Then I considered using XML to create the slider bar so that it would work for non-JavaScript users, I decided against this for two reasons, not many people use XHTML for their pages and I don't know XML. Instead I just included a noscript section with just a normal text box in.

Then someone at school told me that I could use ActiveX to create a slider bar. Well, lets just say that I know more about XML than ActiveX and leave it at that.

So as it stands this is just your average, run-of-the-mill, DHTML script. I'm posting it here to see if anyone can think of any ways that I could make it better or just tell me how damn good it is. :D I don't mind either way, honest.

I plan on submitting it to Dynamic Drive so that's why there are credits all over the place if you're wondering.
