[pLog-svn] r4801 - plog/trunk/class/template/smarty/plugins

[Oscar Renalias]

I was generating a random string that was used in two places: once as
the value of the "id" attribute of the <a> tag and then as the name of
the random object that implements the overlay. This worked fine in
Firefox and Safari but IE kept complaining with some bogus error
message ("Object does not support method or property", or something
like that)

As soon as I used different strings, it all worked again so I figured
I am not allowed to reuse the string... It's confusing to me too, but
perhaps that's the way IE works.
