my (limited) understanding of Javascript is that this could be done entirely
from a script file using the "id" attribute and getElementById(). 

however, i can't see any reason why this would be beneficial.  the user is
more likely to have modified MediaWiki:Monobook.js than the PHP files,
which are not intended to be changed by the user.

also, putting it in the MediaWiki: namespace will prevent it being picked up
on upgrades.
