[Javascript] Want to trap both click and double-click

[mdougherty at pbp.com (Mike Dougherty)]

Why not just use the click method to cycle through none|left|right ?

Due to the way dblclick is handled (or not) I just don't use it at all

If you really want a dblclick, I suggest writing your click method to detect if it has fired 
within the last X milliseconds- something like:
click fired - set a timeout to call the single-click behavior
click fired again - if there is a waiting timeout, cancel it and call the 2xclick behavior

hmm... instead of all this fancy behavior, what about using some radio buttons? (or select?)
