Yes, I noticed that, but I don't use any '@' signs in my jQuery selectors. This is coming from somewhere inside jQuery 1.3.2. I made one incorrect statement (that I tried, apparently in vain, to correct): the error occurs when I click the checkbox, not the +/- box. Oddly, it only occurs the first time that I click a checkbox -- after that, everything works without error. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
