No need to feel stupid, we're all new at some point. I found when starting out with Prototype that it paid me back very well indeed to read the API from beginning to end. It takes just a couple of hours, and you get that time back almost immediately being saved from doing things the "wrong" way or running into things like this. (This particular issue is discussed in the "How Prototype Extends the DOM" page[1], which is linked from the documentation of the Element class[2].) This suggestion of reading through the API is one of several listed under "How do I learn Prototype" in the FAQ on the unofficial Prototype & script.aculo.us wiki.[3] [1] http://prototypejs.org/learn/extensions [2] http://prototypejs.org/api/element/ [3] http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/faq#learn HTH, -- T.J.
