Just a quick update....
Sean, Following your recommendations I downloaded the .40 dev1 version and
the original zip.

The bad news first - Something was broken in the merge. The problem exists
in the app as packaged in both dev versions.
The good news - It does work in the original zip submitted.

If I get done with the mountain of homework I have for tomorrow night, I
plan to try and start comparing the differences to see what might be
different and causing the problem.

More good news I have spent considerable time studying the iUI.js and am
starting to have a semi comfortable understanding of what's going on in
there. Yeah for me!

On a side note, in another previous thread I had mentioned trying to find
ways to override the default Back button behavior for special circumstances
like forms and things. I posed the idea of adding attributes like
backButtonHack = "true", altBackButtonHref = "location to go to",
altBackButtonText = "name of page to go back to", and something like
noHistoryStack = "true" for forms, to the container tag for pages I wanted
special back button control on. You said these were good ideas but would
like to see them implemented without non standard html attributes. As I have
been studying the js file, and learning more about how it works, I have
several ideas for mods to make these options possible, but they all involve
checking for these type of attributes when iUI updates the page and during
the click event handler for links. I am curious how you could let the script
know to activate these type of mods only on certain pages without the use of
non standard attributes. Suggestions?

The last question comes from a learning developer's perspective. I noticed
iUI already uses a few non standard attributes. If browsers ignore tags and
attributes they don't understand, is there a practical reason, besides clean
standardized markup, to not use these types of attributes for use in scripts
and such?

Thanks in advance for feedback on any or all of this everyone!

Vic Hudson
