Thank you Mike. I discovered that the best first "documentation" to
read can be found by clicking on every screen shot on the main page,
and printing each out and then trying every feature they so describe
with terrific brevity (like one or two sentences :)
I'm beginning to see how to use Firebug. But I am stuck on how to get
it to help me with my foucs unfocus issue. I have this little snippet
of code
$("div:not('#matchcontainer')").click(function() {
$("#text800birds").css( { background: "#666666", color:
"#DDDDDD"} );
});
I have it working in my How To
http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/Components/jQuery_How_Do_I_not.html
But I am unable to implement it in my real application
http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/Components/Complete_Search_Tab2.html
Note the rectangle around the text "880 Birds of North America". When
you click anywhere but the left container (scrolling list of birds).
Yet when I click on the matchcontainer it still triggers the handler.
The "not" is suppose to prevent it from selecting matchcontainer.
The DOM of my app is pretty complicated but matchcontainer is
definitely inside all the other divs so it should be matched.
When I put an "alert("here") statement inside the snippet above and
click anywhere I get the alert pop 6 times! Which means its matching
many other divs and it should not.
I am at wits end as to what to do next to find out why.
