Ah yes ... any $() operation returns a jquery object, and not a DOM, but once you iterate through it with each or attach events or anything that gets a _this_ reference, that _this_ is instead a normal DOM reference, meaning you'll have to $(this) in order to get a jquery object from it? thanks for the other two suggestions in the thread, I find myself liking jquery quite a lot actually :) Andreas _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
