Javascript Help?

Are there any javascript experts out there who can help me?  I’m new to this, so the more details / examples you can provide, the better.  I’m using Dezinerfolio’s Javascript Accordion on a mashup site I’m working on.  Inside each accordion item, I’m inserting an iframe that points to a separate page on another site.  Currently, the script seems to call each iframe on page load.  Once all the iframes load, all of the accordion items close except the first one, which displays by default.  If you click on one of the closed accordion items, that iframe page opens.  The problem is that I have so many iframes in the accordion that it takes a long time for the entire page to load and for the accordion to close all the items except the first in the list.  Is there a way to prevent the iframes from loading until each accordion item is clicked?  The javascript file is labeled “accordian-src.js” in the download.

If it’s a long answer, you can email me at joe AT joelaz DOT com.  Thanks!

Comcast Doppelganger
Back in November, a friend sent me a screen shot of this Comcast ad saying that the guy looked like me.  Today, I noticed the same ad on my LinkedIn profile.  Being stalked by my evil Comcast twin.

Google Insights: Twitter + Iran
The mess surrounding the election in Iran seems to have refueled Twitter’s growth.  This chart shows search trend data from Google Insights for the keywords “twitter” (in red) and “iran” (in blue).  Twitter’s growth stalled in mid-April and actually dipped in May, but rebounded a couple weeks ago at the time of the Iranian election.
