Hi Jon, I'm also something of a newbie, but you can include normal javascript in with jquery, as jquery *is* javascript.
The main problem is that jquery functions won't work on normal DOM objects, they have to be selected using the $ function first e.g. $(#myObject).show(); The $ function also gives you a selection of things to play with (an array/node collection? Correct me if I'm wrong), so it's difficult to straight apply DOM methods to them. The other problem with mixing the two is 'this', $(this) and this are completely different - I've not quite got my head round it yet! That's a start, give it a go and read some of the tutorials - otherwise if you have a specific problem that arises, post that!:) Thanks, Dan.
