That's my biggest problem right now is that there are so many inconsistencies among all the browsers, trying to learn all the pitfalls is daunting. I feel like I'm coming in very late in the game.

These are the basic rules of browser scripting:- 1. Context 2. Context 3. Context And add:- 4. Keep everything as simple as possible Of course, despite the granularity of My Library, it is still somewhat the antithesis of the above. It's general, general, general and overly complex for many contexts. As are the rest of them (to a ludicrous degree).

You do realize everything you post here can be Googled and read even months after you post it right? Don't need to elaborate on what I've said when it's all been done for me: "Someone is critical of a widely used library and at the same time promoting their own library? Call me cynical, but given the inherent conflict of interest I'd look for another opinion or 2 before taking their word as the definitive answer." -- "All right, all right, if it will make you happy, I will overthrow society." - Philip J.
