Glad I could be of assistance, Harvey.
Yes, you can put anything into a variable! :-)
It's especially useful to save a jQuery object in a variable as in this
code:
var $input = $("[id$="+b1+"] input");
$input.val( $input.val() == "Hide" ? "Show" : "Hide" );
This way the fairly expensive search that jQuery does to match the selector
only has to be done once, instead of twice. And it makes the code easier to
follow too!
