You've got it backwards.... it makes more sense and keeps the clutter out if you stay in the same topic.....
I did not say not to stay on the same topic. I said if I start veering off into anther discussion that's talking about a different approach (in this case in that previous thread I started with a question about obtaining the LAST <li>). Then I wondering maybe instead I can just iterate through the list of <li> and grab some by index. At that point, that's a whole different issue or scope. Yea, that time I should have stuck with the thread because I already committed to the question on the index. Anyway I get it. But I should not be posting 2 different questions on the same thread which is what I try to avoid On Jul 9, 1:54 pm, expresso <dschin...@gmail.com> wrote: > how the hell am I being rude? > > And second, I am giving information to help you help me.
