John, thanks very much for your reply. Your suggestion is spot on and
worked in every browser. :-) But I don't understand the significance
of the additional ", point" text that you added. I've tried hard to
Google for a deeper understanding of jQuery expression syntax but with
no joy.
So does my bug report still stand given the outcome is different
across browsers? I realise you've found a great solution for me (very
grateful!!!) but am curious about the x-browser thing and why your
revised expression works.
Many thanks,
Gary F.
