Argh!!! Thank you Kangax. I think this would be a great case for cross linking in the documentation. Hash can be thought of as an associative array, binding unique keys to values (which are not necessarily unique), though it can not guarantee consistent order its elements when iterating, "but sortBy() can alleviate this issue." Is there a way I can commit changes to the documentation? -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
