Ah, yes, binding was involved. I still don't understand why the whole block exits though. Err, I guess I understand, but I don't like it. :) I have always wished the null checks worked a bit differently. Like it would be handy if we could say if( someObj.hasFoo ) and it would just evaluate to false if someObj was null. Oh well, a boy can dream...
