Hi Steve, JavaScript variable and object names can only contain letters, numbers and an underscore - and names must not begin with a number. But yes, underscores ( _ ) are not a problem for JavaScript.
Note: in some versions of JavaScript, the dollar sign ( $ ) is okay in a name - but it's best to avoid it. The likely culprit for your problem is probably the value of your <@VAR method$InitialField> variable. Does it actually contain a string of any kind? When trying to get the List members to debug HTML and/or JavaScript problems - it's sometimes more helpful to supply us the with the finished (rendered) output - after Witango is finished with it. This is so you can see what JavaScript is dealing with more clearly. Hope this helps. Cheers....
