I have tried that - same behavior - after the widget renders the results, the form/page (or whatever is happening) is reset. I've also tried trapping the mouseup and having it a) return false b) do nothing (after the mousedown has processed the search) - all to no avail: form is reset. The only thing that seems to work is if I put an alert in the mouseup and don't repsond to it until well after my search results are posted. So I need a way of no-opping the mouseup event. Any ideas anyone? what is 'ihm' BTW? thanks Max
