Sorry for the delay in getting back to this (I love my work, it just doesn't love me back).
...oh boyyyy. I knew it would be a stupid typo. I was referencing src="jquery.js" when, in fact, I should have been referencing src="jquery-1.2.1.js". (I swear I looked at the error console a dozen times!!) http://www.ixwa.com/jquery_test.html How's THAT for the Darwin award of the year? I've been doing this a long time, but dumb mistakes seem to know no limits. (sheepishly) Hehe, sorry all. jQuery is lovely. Now I think I'll just go and play with my Legos.
