Hi, David- It's not: evt.clientX(); it's: evt.clientX;
"getBBox()" is also supported, although there does seem to be something buggy about it. I haven't troubled to track it down, but I think it only works on visible, rendered objects. This behavior may or may not be correct, but certainly is inconvenient when you are trying to predetermine, say, the size of a text block in order to wrap a rectangle around it... which means it will end up getting rendered twice, possibly with a flicker... so, another performance hit.

I'm pretty sure that'll work in Firefox. | | Antoine ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Most low income households are not online.
