Glad it helped, Austin.
One more remark about the relative element IDs. You can also use the
^ character to go up the hierarchy. This is similar to .. in file
system paths, except that you don't need the / (or the dot with
element IDs) after the 'one level up' char.
For example, say you have an element in the site .Pub.Stuff.Foo. and
you want to refer to the Home element in the .Pub.Fum. site. Then you
can use ^^Fum.Home
