Nope actually the former, two references to the same object. I wanted to pass in a reference to an object (in this case a singe li) and then loop over a collection of objects (in this case all the li's in an ul) and do something when the first reference matched the one of the second references.
I got it working once I realized my problem was a syntax issue not related to the actual comparison [you know JavaScript just really hates it when you use CFML syntax in it]. Now it all does as I want it to. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
