In many cases, a better solution for the thousand mouseovers, clicks, etc. is to use a single event handler on a parent element and inspect event.target in the event handler. That's extremely efficient and nearly as easy to code. There's an example here: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/785b404914c25511 (Click More Options/View Thread to see the original code that used multiple event handlers.) -Mike
