If you're comfortable with JavaScript, I'd recommend the jQuery method. The CF AJAX stuff shields you from having to write JS... which I guess is a good thing if you don't know it and don't have a desire to learn it. But there are some drawbacks: 1) uses an older version of Ext. If you want something more up-to-date, you'll have to roll your own anyway. 2) imports a LOT of script tags. i've herad that there are some tweaks to reduce the number of included scripts... but out of the box, there's an awful lot of .js being imported for something as simple as a tool tip. using jQuery (or any of the other external libraries) really gives you full control. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:315061 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
