Thanks for an informative and helpful post, Jack. This sounds like it could
have quite possibly accounted for the glitch I was experiencing. Though it
seems odd that it would only appear in NS 3. Anyway, learn something
new every day. Or in my case, quite a few new somethings every day :)
It's odd, but I seem to have a terrible head for syntax -- having come to
programming late in life, perhaps I just sort of "psych myself out" as to
how easy/hard it all is. I can grasp the *conceptual* aspects of Perl and
Javascript well enough -- this function calls these variables which
calculate x,y,z, etc -- and can reason through the logic of other people's
scripts fairly well, but when it comes time to write my own I quickly get
lost in a sea of escapes, brackets and quote-marks.
Anyway, persistence will out, I'm sure.
