Hi, > (I can't provide an example, because the script is not standalone).
But it sounds as though you've debugged this to the point you could *create* a standalone test case replicating the problem fairly easily, whereas anyone else is going to be guessing at the things you already know. Can you give it a try? Sounds like it _may_ be a bug in Prototype in that specific situation, with that specific browser. A simple, standalone test case is the first step to getting that resolved. -- T.J.
