I would have done something similar to that originally, but I was not sure how consistent the "menu_id:" string was or if that string might change in the future. The string is actually "id0_menu:" in the version I am using, at least for the first jsCookMenu element on the page. That proposal sounds almost fine to me. The code needs to check for only ":" in the case of scripting languages. For example, one of my actions is "id0_menu:javascript:getHelp();", which contains no "/" character. I am not sure what the ideal regular expression would be, but it would definitely check for ":", "/", and "?". Perhaps that would be enough; can any of those characters be used in a JSF action name? Thanks. + Richard
