###Notes This script will break when Xero update their code. I will endevour to keep it updated when this happens. Also, Xero is written with Prototype which I'm not familiar with. This script injects jQuery to speed up development. Future versions might be converted into Prototype.
##Credit I wrote this script out of pure frustration with Xero. It wasn't overly easy. If you would like to make a donation to support my efforts please do via PayPal
