Another idea (with another drum roll): checkProperty. Really short and accurately descriptive. -- Ingvar von Schoultz ------- (My quirky use of capitals in code comes from my opinion that reserved and predefined words should all start with lowercase, and user-defined should all start with uppercase, because this will easily and elegantly prevent a host of name-collision problems when things like programming languages are upgraded with new labels.) _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list Es4-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
