Just to be clear, are you advising people to chain method calls? Personally, I'm not crazy about this practice. I find it much more difficult to read code that does several different things on one line. Additionally, it just seems unintuitive to have a setter method return a variable. If a setter returns a variable, I have to decide if it's meaningful in some way or if the guy before me was just being cute to save himself from having to type a few extra characters. Anyway, I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing here. Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057 > > Why?
