I'm missing something here. Array indexes are properties, which is why they are included in for..in iteration. The OPs problem was how to deal with properties from the [[prototype]] chain, not that array properties were included in for..in. There are two issues to deal with when using for..in with a javascript array: 1. properties may have been added to Array.prototype, and 2. object properties are not guaranteed to be returned in any particular order Both the above are common to any use of for..in. Item 1 is easily dealt with. If order matters, a for, while or do loop can be used. Otherwise, there is no issue. -- Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
