[jQuery] Re: Expectetd identifier, string on number
"Wonder why that is? "

it's just that browsers other than IE handle it (much) more
gracefully :-)
Also just a quick tip on your code in general... if you know the ID of
something, then use *just* the ID for the selector... so in your code
jQuery("select#article_is_in_1");
should be
jQuery("#article_is_in_1")
the first is slower because it is like "find all select objects on the
page, then find the one with this ID"
the second is faster because it'll use document.getElementById, which
is very fast :-)

All the multiple .hide() calls could be cleaned up too... even if it's
just a loop if it has to be 2 through 14
for (var j=2; j <= 14) {
jQuery('#article' + j).hide();
}

[jQuery] Re: Expectetd identifier, string on number
Ah never mind - found it:
do: "wiki_ajax",
For some reason it doesn't like do: , so I renamed to wiki_do, and its
fine now
Wonder why that is?
TIA
