Just to clarify - I do not know any programming languages . . . I have begun to reverse engineer other plugins and macros, and I get along ok until I come across some of the more advanced stuff (ELS, Udo, Saq)
I have multiple Bible & Missing Manual reference books an my desk - and typically I read through an entire, then go back and use it as a reference. Thank You for all of the input, I am hoping to jump into a book sometime this month. Hopefully it will help me at least be able to pick through other peoples creations and have a better understanding of what I am looking at. I have recently fallen in lust with fET, but also have begun to see some of its limitations & quite a few examples from ELS on how you can solve the same problems with just JS or inline JS in a more eloquent manner.
