Keep in mind that extend() does a shallow copy, not a deep copy. var one = { a:1, b:{ c:2 } }; var two = $.extend( {}, one ); two.a = 11; two.b.c = 33; Now the objects look like this: one = { a:1, b:{ c:33 } } two = { a:11, b:{ c:33 } } The "two.b.c = 33;" assignment changed both objects, because they share a copy of the "b" object. -Mike _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
