Not all macros are being removed in 1.1. There has been some confusion about this but some macros are too highly used to be removed from the core, even to a plugin. The .val() macro happens to be one of those that are highly used ... but lets not get back into the 1.1 discussion just yet. -- Brandon Aaron _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
