If you're on Rails you can use the AssetPackager plugin. It merges and minimizes your files (css/js) plus timestamping from SVN in production environment, but uses single files in development. That means you can easily edit files if you need... Very handy! -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
