I have some notes on Chuck's georgehowe issue. I think it may have something to do with getElementsByClassName. The georgehowe developers use the jquery syntax for selecting by class, which is to put a leading period before your string: var loginlogout_link = $('.login-logout'); Maybe this is actually a standard CSS syntax for class. I'm not sure. The reason why I think our getElementsByClassName is involved is that the jquery code for these things usually ties back to the DOM (or invariably does.) So in other words, blah = $('.class') is a wrapper around getElementsByClassName, with maybe some extra optimization so that the selector runs more quickly than the DOM function would, or that's the idea. And this is returning nothing when I try it, yet I know the jquery itself is OK because this unrelated selector by tag type does return several elements: var test1 = $("INPUT") I am still trying to track this down but it may have something to do with what happens if you have a class string like: class="login-logout top-menu-link" If you test for the presence of just "login-logout", it would fail if you are requiring an exact string match, but it should succeed if "login-logout top-menu-link" is treated as a space-delimited list, and a match on any of the given class names is considered a match. But I think there is something else wrong, because I also can't get a result back when I try: var test2 = $(".login-logout top-menu-link") Which ought to succeed even if you ARE requiring an exact match on the entire thing. So I could be wrong about getElementsByClassName being relevant. Kevin
