No, it doesn't. When you use that style of insert, you're handing it an object (in this case, via an object literal) where the name(s) of the property on the object dictate where the content is put. "bottom" is a property name, which you can either put in quotes or not. These two object literals are identical: {bottom: 'blah blah blah'} {'bottom': 'blah blah blah'} The second one is also valid JSON (the first is not, although most JSON parsers will let you get away with it.) Sometimes you need to use a string for the property name, if the name you want to use is a reserved word like 'class' or 'var'. @OP: I found it really really really really really hard to believe that remote desktop was the distinguishing factor, and finally got a chance to check it, and it isn't (I can use both links directly or via RD). I'm thinking IE security settings (like the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, which will amongst other things make the "http://" URL -- yes, really, it's blank after the // -- that Prototype uses at load time not work), but those are just settings on the Windows system, nothing to do with Remote Desktop.
