Thanks, John. And thanks for jQuery. Beautiful piece of work.

Hi Kynn - Documentation on $.extend can be found here: http://docs.jquery.com/JavaScript and information on using $.fn.extend can be found here: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring In jQuery $.fn.extend is used in plugin authoring, adding new methods to jQuery. The relationship in jQuery is like this: jQuery and $ are identical. jQuery.fn and $.fn are identical. jQuery.fn and jQuery.prototype are identical. jQuery.extend and jQuery.fn.extend are nearly identical, but when you pass in a single object of properties, jQuery.extend will extend the jQuery object with properties whereas jQuery.fn.extend will extend the jQuery.fn object (and thus add new methods to the jQuery core). All of that being said, if you're just getting started with jQuery, you're probably not going to have to worry about any of this. --John On 3/4/07, Kynn Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi.
