It seems that effect.cancel(); this.cancel(); , etc. don't have an
effect. I may look @ a different workaround / better queue system -- as
I never want an active element (current element -- set via a
onMouseOver) to become folded up -- and while rolling the mouse over
several elements at once, and then stopping at one, it seems to roll it
up (probably by a BlindUp effect in the queue stack) , and further --
sometimes the Blinded Up <div> never re-appears (even after waiting out
all queued effects). If anyone would like, I could send the entire
source .. although am going to sleep on this one for now ;)
Thanks for the tips.

Wouldn't you need to do effect.element? Just element by itself probably
is not referring to what you think it is.
