Hi,

I am having a problem with the way RJS generates code.  Say I have
html like this:

    <div id="parent">
      <div id="child1"></div>
      <div id="child2"></div>
    </div>

and RJS code like this:

    parent = page["parent"]
    parent.down('#child1').highlight
    parent.down('#child2').highlight

the generated JS code becomes:

    $("1").down("#a").highlight().down("#b").highlight();

which is incorrect, because the second down() starts from within
#child1, whereas it should have started from within #parent.

By not declaring the "parent" variable and use page["parent"] for
every highlight() call it would work, but it's not very DRY.  I could
also append a bunch of up() and down() in a long chain, but the code
gets messy difficult to follow.

I was wondering if there are any good ways to generate code that are
correct, clean, and DRY?

Thanks in advance!

Bob
