It's neither. 'match' is a string. event is a variable. event.target is a property of the event variable, and event.target.id is a property of event.target. > I have the handler set up but it seems to match any div that > is clicked including the #match ID which I want it to ignore.

I would add this statement where you want to look around (e.g. at the first line of your click event function): debugger; Firebug will stop there and you can look at variables and stuff. For example, you can type event.target.id into the Watch window and it will show you the value of that property. I wonder if it should be this.id instead of event.target.id? See what is in them both... -Mike
