I just want to know if there is something similar for functions running inside of objects that are children of another object.
If you're working with DOM nodes, then you can use myNode.parentNode (reference to myNode's parent) myNode.firstChild (reference to myNode's the first item in myNode.childNodes ) myNode.lastChild (reference to myNode's the last item in myNode.childNodes) myNode.childNodes (a collection of all of myNode's children) myNode.previousSibling (the node that appear just before myNode in the tree) myNode.nextSibling (the node that appear just after myNode in the tree) but if you're using a collection of generic objects, then you have to create those relationships by yourself. Like others have said, JavaScript has no built-in notion of any sort of heirarchy (except perhaps the prototype chain, but that still probably is not what your looking for). I as well cannot vouch for Dean Edwards' Base.js library, but given his reputation in the greater JavaScript community, it is definitely worth at least looking into. -- Aaron Heimlich Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://aheimlich.freepgs.com
