   Seems firefox follows the 1-32767 range but Google Chrome does not... 
Chrome allows values greater than 32767 (did not try to find the MAX) 
but still skips on negative values. Epiphany, Konqueror, and Opera seem 
to follow suit (tabs on + , skips on -). The one issue I did notice was 
that Opera was the only browser to leave its GUI buttons out of the 
equation.
