Thanks much Tracy, I've been working on an XP machine with IE 8 and never considered the possibility that a newer combination might break my code. You not only identified the gotcha but supplied the solution!
It seems to me there must be a better way to learn what terms one can use when working with the DOM or perhaps collections in general. So far I have learned by seeing others code and by experimentation. Can you point me to a reference or tutorial so I don't need to bother the pros on the list?
