Ah, you mean load it like normal, but directly call jQuery.Resizable.whatever() directly. Yeah, I can do that. Like I said, getting over the initial duh! thats obvious stuff is hard sometimes. Working with a plugin for use to manipulate DOM objects has a pattern, but using a plugin inside of another plugin does not seem to be same pattern. > Another point: To interact from other controls with your Map, you may > want to hijack jQuery's event system, using bind, trigger and some > wrapper methods.

Once I have worked through a few of these conceptual problems, I'll start coding otherwise it will be a total hack job instead of only a partial hack job ;) Thanks, -Steve _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
