But what is the point? It reminds me, decades ago, a proff showed me how you could use the preprocessor to almost turn C into pascal. #define begin { #define end } etc And then he said, "but don't ever do that!" jquery seems to be a huge library of functions that overlay prototypes and all sorts of things to make js more powerful I guess. If we have a perfect js dom implementation then jquery would run just fine, but we don't. My first load of the library gives this error. jquery-1.11.1.js: 916: TypeError: document is undefined Really? almost the first thing I do in createJavaContext is make the document object. It's there from the start, but somehow something in this library has caused it to disappear. I haven't had the time or the inclination to track down what has happened. Karl Dahlke
