* I think it'd be handy to somehow a "go to top" button on the page somewhere - scroll to "var" then try look up "a" faff :)

* also clicking the "Elements" box at the top should reset menu

* can you make the example box wider? (and more of them, they're awesome!)

Thanks a lot for the feedback (and to everyone else too). I'm going to try both of those ideas when I get home from work.
