I'd suggest to understand why your dynamic objects are wired up, thoroughly read this article
http://www.learningjquery.com/2008/03/working-with-events-part-1 understanding "why" is the solution of fixing your issue as for "as even to do the simplest thing you need to fully internalise the whole framework" I'm not exactly sure what "internalise the whole framework" is supposed to mean, but I can say from personal experience that I have been using jQuery for a year and a half now, and i've had to go inside the jQuery core file *maybe* 4-5 times, and mainly just to learn what things were doing for my own knowledge "and have a comprehensive in-depth understanding of Javascript and the DOM" That's simply not true.... the whole purpose of a framework like jQuery is so the programmer *doesn't need to* comprehensively understand JS and the DOM.... for instance there's a lot of things that IE does/behaves differently, but jQuery hides that fact from the programmer then again, what one is trying to accomplish would have a big factor in having to know the DOM or advanced script On Jun 4, 10:46 am, fredriley <fred.ri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry to post again to this group, but again jQuery has me stumped on > what seems like a simple task.
