Thanks. It's been fun and a great way to learn. On the other hand, you
can't give your html to a designer to have them make it prettier.

The dom events aren't coded within the html but require a javascript call to
hook in. I maintain a few javascript queues during the build process, add a
request when I reneder the html for the object, then insert the queue
contents into the page at the appropriate time - some to the page load
event, some in the head, some at the end of the document.

I am still very much a newbie here, crippled by my lack of formal CS
training - I barely understand most of the conversations :) A lot of it was
written before I knew what I now know, and I am trying to get an actual
project launched before I have time to go back and make it
non-embarrassing. I also would like to pay my dues by helping with existing
documentation and examples, rather than adding yet another approach to an
already large body of library code. Sadly, I still haven't built factor on
my daily (work) xp pc. You may be an inspiration for that.
In context, I thought I was mentioning it after I had counseled you to try a
factor code-compile-test cycle that wasn't perfectly what you desired to
just get going and have fun. I just didn't want you to think I was trying
to shut down non-orthodox ideas - factor to me represents just the
opposite. Which I remember as a problem with forth - everyone did
everything their own way and reinvented many wheels, so it was too hard to
get started for a casual person.
