I'm not questioning the usefullness of your functions, but there was already a discussion today regarding the use of $ functions and them polluting the namespace. I'm guessing the advice you'll be given is to not use the shortcut methods (which I tend to agree with). On 4/27/06, Faison, Sandford

Another thing to watch for (though maybe we got to the bottom of this already) is that IDs cant start with a number. I.e. id="0123123" is invalid, and can lead to strange errors like the one you describe. If your id is actually "myDiv", there's no problem, but I've seen lots of people try and us
