Interesting -- I would take this to mean that if I'm creating a whole bunch of stuff dynamically -- where those things might, later on, change, then it might be best to maintain, in parallel, a JavaScript array of all the things (and their attributes). It would be redundant in terms of storage and probably chew up some memory allocation from the browser, but I suppose that is relatively cheap in comparison to the time factor. (I have noticed that when I pack more than a few hundred animated things into a page the browser gets sleepy.) Does that seem sensible? David ------------------------ Yahoo!
