Dave Yes, this answer occurred to me while I was eating lunch. Oh well, I guess it's a rite of passage to ask your first dumb question.
Thanks for your time and help. jQuery looks really very nice indeed.

The jQuery object doesn't have any elements, but by the time the wrap method executes it has already evaluated its arguments, which in this case includes your env() function. The env() executes once, only once, and always once, no matter how many elements the jQuery object has selected. > I can avoid the problem by rewriting the code as something like > $(".rounded").removeClass("rounded").each(function(){$(this).wrap(env("div", "test", {"class":"rounded"}))}); Right, because the anonymous function will be executed once for each element in the jQuery object. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
