Perhaps I took the wrong approach to passing a reference element. I should probably check as I'm going through and short-circuit if I find the reference element. As it is right now I'm going through the DOM twice. :/ I bet it would be fast enough for your use-case then. In the name of performance ... I had originally tried to use some built in methods in Firefox and IE but they are full of bugs harder to solve than just parsing the DOM. :/ > I also hesitated, because the plugin overwrites height()/width() and I > don't know in which way. It doesn't change the way the normal height and width methods are used. It just adds some more functionality too them. It allows you to get the height of the document and/or the window in-conjunction with the normal uses. > Still its a great plugin, don't get me wrong! :) The important thing to me is that as a community we work to make things better. Experiences like the above would have been nice to know earlier on ... so that I or someone else in the community could try and make the plugin better. -- Brandon Aaron _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
