Hugh, Two things:
1. Even if you aren't happy with responses to your questions, it's not okay to repost. Your original post did show up. In fact, you got a reply in that thread before you reposted and started this second thread. For readers of this thread, here's his original and if you feel like responding, please do so there: http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/thread/9a7756f0a145cb14# 2. Can you explain your message subjects, please? In general, when posting to a discussion group, it's best to use a subject that highlights the main aspect of your thread. This "X new messages in Y topics" message subject is not useful (and in fact, I only barely bothered to look at your first message, having initially assumed it would be spam -- fortunately I did bother to look at it, saw it wasn't spam, and cleared it through). If you're sending messages to the group by replying to a group digest email, please correct the subject line before posting. And that may increase the odds of someone helping you out. HTH, -- T.J.
